Summary
A child's wooden push-along toy manufactured by Escor (circa 1982). It consists of a long blue painted handle with a green rectangular block at one end and a green knob at the other. The block is attached to two wheels; one red, one yellow, which are fastened to the block with a dowling rod. The rod has knobs at either end - a red knob on the yellow wheel and a green knob on the red wheel. Attached to each wheel on the inner side are two silver-coloured metal 'sleigh' bells (four bells in total). As the toy is pushed along the bells ring. On the yellow wheel is a logo (label) union jack which reads 'MADE IN ENGLAND' in white letters. On the red wheel is a black oval label with a gold edge which reads 'ESCOR' in gold capital letters.
