Summary
A pull-along toy in the shape of a wooden rectangular trolley, with four wooden wheels with detachable wooden pegs. Each pair of wheels is attached to a wooden axle which goes through the trolley. The back and front of the trolley have high sides with two slots into which the lid slides. There are three wooden slats going across inside the trolley, with two holes drilled in each. There is a hole at the front, into which fits a piece of string with a small wooden dowel at one end and a larger one at the other, to pull the trolley along. A small turned peg fits in a small central hole on the front slat. There are six turned wooden figures, possibly passengers or ninepins, made of different timbers. There are two swivelling bars at either end of one side of the trolley. Total number of items is 18.
