Summary
A doll's pram (1880s - 1890s) has a collapsible black hood lined with cream fabric and covered with black rexine. The hood has been re-upholstered. The outside of the body of the pram is boat shaped and has vertical black and cream stripes. The inside of the body has two seats opposite one another and a well for the feet. It is lined with black rexine. The body of the pram sits on two large springs which are attached to the axles of the 4 wheels. The wheels have composition tyres but one of them is missing. Two stout rods from the back of the pram support a black wooden handle for pushing the vehicle.
