Summary
A wooden pull-along toy roundabout, manufactured by Brio, in its original colour printed cardboard box (circa 1982). It comprises a green rectangular wooden base supported on four red, white and yellow revolving wheels. There is a length of string at the front enabling it to be pulled along. When it is, the roundabout mounted on the green rectangle turns, and a metal bracket on the base of the roundabout strikes a metal bell on the back of the green rectangle. The base of the roundabout is red and supports 3 horses, one green, one yellow and one blue. The top of the roundabout is red, yellow and green. There is a colour photograph of the roundabout on the box. Printed on the side of the box is 'BRIO/ From 18 months/ A colourful pull action/ toy. Turns around and/ rings the bell./ Wood - nature's own/ play material./ Made in Sweden by BRIO, Osby'. Total number of items is two
