Description
Two (2) pcs. Canadian. 1920s. Scale models serve as an excellent record of the machinery of yesterday. While some were manufactured as promotional samples, others were made by hobbyists and folk artists working with great skill and patience to produce a miniature version of a favourite machine. This model, made of salvaged wood and cut tin cannisters, is a toy steam engine and threshing machine. It was designed to be fully mechanical, but requires restoration to function. Lettered in paint, "Sawyer Massey, The New Peerle 9". 31 x 15 x 17.5" (H); 39 x 13 x 13" (H). CODE:AGR
