Summary
A toy stable divided into two compartments (1920s). The stable was possibly made by the German manufacturer 'Bauer and Krause', Leipzig. Manufactured from the late 19th century till the 1930s. The end wall of each contains a rectangular glass window. The smaller compartment to the right has a pair of hinged wooden paling gate (one of the palings is missing). The larger compartment is subdivided into four loose boxes, with four corresponding mangers mounted on the back wall. Both compartments have papered floors with imitation tile patterns. At the front of the left compartment are four turned wooden stantions with badly peeling paint. In the centre of the front of the roof is a detachable wooden hayloft set at right angles to the rest of the roof. The centre of the hay loft has a hinged door with an arched top. The front of the roof of the hayloft has a bargeboard. The outside of both the stable and the hayloft is covered in paper with a brick pattern. Both roofs are painted black. The 5 horses, trolley, carriage and feeding box are recorded separately as inventory numbers - 665403 to 665408. Total number of items is 2.
