Model identification:
"Note, that model 110 erroneously also refers to Ara. Even though it carries the annotation 'ARA. started for Mr. Alexander Witon 1920 finished for Mr. Dane about 1922. model by Sidney. scale 3/8in = 1ft' it has been found to represent #168p Vamoose. For more information see comments for model 110 or for #168p Vamoose." (Source: van der Linde, Claas. November 4, 2014.)
