Summary
Three metal models associated with a farm set. There is a cow, a bucket, and a milk churn. The bucket and milk churn are unpainted grey metal, but the cow is painted cream with black patches, grey feet, black eyes and a pink nose. Some of this paint has chipped off. There are bands moulded round the bucket with mock 'rivets', and it has a handle made from very fine wire. The milk churn is basically conical with handles moulded on each side. Its top is slightly rusty. Total number of items is 3.
