Custom Handmade 'Beanie Baby Bus Lines' Wooden Display Shelf

This is a large, wall-mounted or tabletop wooden display shelf uniquely crafted in the silhouette of a classic bus. It is constructed primarily from solid pine or a similar light-grained coniferous wood, finished with a warm medium-oak stain. The piece measures approximately 3 to 4 feet in length and features six open window-style compartments intended for displaying small collectibles. The front panel is decorated with a black painted pinstripe border and the hand-painted or stenciled script 'Beanie Baby Bus Lines'. The construction is utilitarian and rustic, utilizing simple joinery and circular wooden plugs to cover screw holes. Notable features include a curved front 'hood' section and two small black wooden wheels attached to the base. The item displays a moderate rustic patina with some scuffing, surface scratches, and natural wood knots visible, consistent with a handmade folk-art style piece from the late 1990s. The craftsmanship suggests a custom hobbyist build rather than a factory-mass-produced item, specifically designed to coincide with the Beanie Baby collectors' movement. While the user provided context mentioning 'Porcelain by Steve Mcghie', this physical item is wooden and serves as a specialized display rack for plush toys or figurines.
