Summary
A baby's metal cot which, when dismantled, consists of nine separate pieces (circa 1900). It has four legs and the upper section of each forms the bed post ending in a silver coloured knob. Each leg has a nut which unscrews, allowing the slatted metal rectangular base to be fitted. There are two shaped, metal sides with rods which drop into the base. One half of each side is higher than the other half. There are metal grid head and foot boards. Total number of items is 9.

Donated to the Museum of Childhood by Mr Berman in July 1985.
