Summary
A 1930s (possibly) doll's pram with a brown-painted metal body which has a curved pattern embossed on the side picked out by a silver-coloured painted line, and a brown fabric folding hood. Made by Lines Bros - brand name Triang. The body of the pram is supported on a metal chassis. Attached to the chassis are two axles, each supporting a pair of metal spoked wheels with white rubber tyres, all four wheels being the same size. The curved metal handle has a black-painted metal handrail. The interior is lined and upholstered with brown fabric and the base has a removable centre panel which, when removed, forms a footwell. There is brown fabric binding around the edge of this panel which incorporates a loop for lifting it, although some of this has become detached. There is brown-coloured braid around the edge of the hood. The metal parts of this pram are very rusty. Total number of items is 2.
