This is a light plastic model that's been around here for years.  I thought I would post it just in case someone knows anything about it or has any interest.  The underside has "CURSOR" and "MADE IN GERMANY."

(later)  Well, when in doubt. . .   I checked on eBay and found that this is part of a small series of early vehicles by the German firm of Cursor.  Prices vary widely.  Interesting...

Hi David,

I have several of these nicely detailed 1/40 scale plastic models. Here is a bit more about them.

Cursor Modell was a German company making models of antique and modern German vehicles

It is best known for its plastic replicas of vehicles mainly of the era 1880 to about 1920produced forand sold inthe Daimler-Benz museum in Stuttgart.

Cursor started making these ultra detailed 1:40 scale plastic replicas of  early Mercedes-Benzes and Daimlers about 1969The first models were started by model maker Wiking and but were immediately taken over by Cursor. Below is one more issue from this series.

I seem to recall the subject of Cursor came up a few months ago, when I explained their numbering system. So here's my oldies again.
