Title: antique toy carriage?????
Post by: greenacres on June 12, 2012, 12:59:30 PM
I was looking at some books on this. Is this a valuable collector piece, or just a little toy? Or is it worthless because there's something that went with it?

Neat cast iron piece that would appeal to a toy or doll collector. Is it marked? Arcade Mfg. made similar items.

The writing is a little faded. Do the numbers mean anything?

Nice.  Collectible.

Please tell any/all numbers and lettering.  Can you do a rubbing and get more info?
