Notes:

The uncataloged #24120, with very large letters, was offered in 1960 only, in three variations. The most common has a dark green plastic body with Pike-Master trucks and couplers. The second and third variations are very rare and are thought to be pre-production samples. The second variation is painted red over a cream plastic body. The third variation is painted yellow over a red-painted cream plastic body and this variation has black lettering.

An example of the most common variety.
