Summary
A painted tinplate and wood doll's house size mangle. The green tinplate upright legs have 'Holdfast, Made In England' embossed on either side. A fancy red tinplate bar is stretched between them fastening with a tinplate clip. The oval shaped cut out top is in red tin with four knobbed turning screws on the top centre. The two draining boards are painted grey and metal pins hold the two wooden rollers which are operated by a large gold coloured tinplate wheel. This has three cut out shapes and a long cylindrical metal handle.
