Summary
A Britain's, die cast, metal model of a horse and cart (circa 1930 to circa 1955). The horse is brown with a black mane and tail and white socks. It is kitted out with red reins, black saddle and yoke. It is fastened to the cart by a piece of wire. The cart is yellow and grey with a shaped red trim at the front and red wheels. It has a lip on each side, a removable back pannel and is hinged in the centre so that it can tip up to remove the contents. When needed to be straight it is held in position by a bent pin.
