The second Talbot van found in the American van Set was the Langendorf, another subsidiary of the American Bakeries Company. Non-Lesney produced square cut labels were applied to unlabelled Talbot vans and were sold as a promotional item in a particular area of the U.S.A. to consumers of the American Bakeries Company produce. As with the other two Talbot vans in the Set, consumers were invited to purchase the Langendorf for less than $4 plus proof of purchase of American Bakeries Company produce.

Livery:The logo was a square label - 'LANGENDORF' in pale yellow on red oval with a thin white border surround - 'OLD FASHIONED ENRICHED BREAD' in black directly below.
