Yes, it's 531, whether that translates to "good quality" is debatable. There's one at Trips For Kids in San Rafael, that is all original and pretty close to mint condition, that they've been trying to get $500 for several years. It's a color of brown that I don't find particularly attractive and still has it's original sew up wheels.
