A completely new model, the Burlingham Seagull represents a golden age in coach travel and what better company livery to launch this 1950s coach in 1:148 scale than Wallace Arnold.

Coachbuilder H V Burlingham's roots go back to Blackpool in the 1920s when founder Herbert Victor Burlingham realised the potential in transporting day visitors to Britain's seaside resorts and it was not long before their reputation caught the attention of coach firms beyond Blackpool. For the 1950 Commercial Motor Show, Burlingham introduced two new coach designs based on the Leyland Royal Tiger and AEC Regal IV chassis. Both had a 37 seat capacity and centrally opening doors. The differences between the two saw the AEC with teardrop shape wheel arches and a straight waist rail with vertical window pillars, while the Royal Tiger had a curved waist rail, angled window pillars and an ellipsoid moulding sweeping from the front to the rear of the coach. The Royal Tiger had been liveried in the colour scheme of one of Burlngham's key customers Woods of Blackpool for the show, who traded under the name Seagull Coaches. As a result the Seagull name became an integral part of the coach, which was subsequently known as the Burlingham Seagull. It became the definitive coach of the age, purchased by most of the large coach operators of the day, including Wallace Arnold.

Our model is painted in the pale cream Wallace Arnold colour scheme with bright red wheels and deep red interior seating. Registered OUA 814, the destination blind tells us the bus is ON TOUR. The Wallace Arnold name and their key tour destinations are printed in red and gold across the rear. Note that the sweeping silver masking along the sides of the coach identifies it as having the Leyland Royal Tiger chassis option.

The company was eventually taken over by Duple Motor Bodies Ltd of Hendon but eventually went back to its Blackpool roots before disappearing completely in 1989.

Great organizer for "normal length" chains
Color: B-Metal Black
This little tree has saved all my random jewelry from its fate of being a tangled mess in a zipper bag, or in my nightstand drawer, or the bottom of my purse...you get it. If you have a lot of long (greater than 26 inches or so) chains, you may wish to opt for something taller. But for my purposes, it's just grand. Even nicer-looking than the picture also.

Excellent Buy, Quality Build, Great Price
Color: B-Metal Antique Greenish
Solid metal. Tree attaches to the base with a Phillips screw (four way). Sturdy attachment. Metal was intact upon delivery and me foolishly dropping it on the ground as I opened it out of the box. The tree is... how must I put it? Two dimensional I suppose, which you can see from the pictures the branches extend in only opposite directions. So it is not three dimensional in the aspect that the branches go every which way like an actual tree. This is what I had envisioned and I don't want you to make the same mistake. This product is what it says, my imagination ran away from me with the picture and I bought it very quickly. All in all a wonderful piece for the money.

Cute but sharp edges!
Color: B-Metal Antique Greenish, Color: B-Metal Antique Greenish
Its cute but has tiny sharp edges i cut myself when putting it together. I will buff it down and keep it. But the quality control is definitely lacking.

Great for price
Color: B-Metal Antique Greenish
I don’t have a ton of jewelry but enough to need somewhere to put it. Easy to put together. I don’t know that it’s nice enough to buy as a gift alone but I’m happy with it for myself.

Effective & Attractive with Wireless Charging
Color: Blue, Color: Blue
This "valet" organizer, which is the first time I've heard that term for a product like this, is nearly perfect. For me, it checks all of the boxes and in a perfect world, I would have opted for a smaller piece with only three compartments for mobile, wallet, and keys. It's well made and quite attractive, especially the blue (favorite color, so I'm biased). The only feature I'm not a fan of is how the removeable, wireless charging pad was implemented, which sits up on a small lip at a slight incline. However, I'm not complaining one bit as the wireless charging is great, and it's a differentiator that determines the value of the piece. I would have preferred the pad be built into the piece, however the angle of it does make it easy to grab opposed to using your finger(s) to pry it up.
