Summary
Two handmade plywood push-along toys each with a projecting handle (circa 1981). One of the toys is in the shape of a doctor wearing a top hat, brown trousers and blue coat. He carries a doctor's bag on which is written ‘DR. FOSTER’ in pokerwork, in his left hand and a brown umbrella in his right hand. The other toy is in the shape of a lady wearing a pink dress, orange hat and shoes. She is carrying a pig in her left hand and an umbrella with a duck's head handle in her right hand. As the handle of each is pushed their legs and feet revolve in a walking action. Total number of items is 2.
