Summary
A tin plate double decker clockwork tram (circa 1911). It has a cream and red body with orange window frames, and a black roof. On either side is written MUNICIPAL TRAMWAYS. Also on either side, the monogram 'GBN' appears inside a lozenge shape underneath which is written 'BAVARIA'. Part of the clockwork mechanism protrudes from one side of the tram. A metal rod protrudes through a hole in the roof. The upper deck is open air with eight back to back orange metal seats. The upper deck is reached via two staircases one at the front and one at the rear of the tram. It also has four revolving metal wheels.
