Seller: ageuksouthlakeland ✉️ (22,256) 100%, Location: Kendal, Cumbria, GB, Ships to: EUROPE, ASIA, US, CA, AU, Item: 231362491320 Wooden Toy or Model Horse Drawn Victorian London to York Royal Mail Carriage. Wooden Model of Victorian London to York Royal Mail Carriage Here we have for auction this fabulous wooden model of a Victorian Royal Mail Carriage - the London to York Express, complete with two horses and moving wheels. It looks to have been hand made, though whether it was part of an official kit or made by a craftsman/hobbyist we are not sure. It is well made, with wooden axle and wheels that spin and the front ones also steer, the back box on the carriage opens, although the main passenger part doesn't. It is generally in good condition although a couple of pieces are loose and may need securing. It is well painted and the decals on it appear to be labels, which leads us to believe that it was an early kit or perhaps sold already made up. There are no makers marks on it - we think that it dates to around the 1940s or 1950s - or possibly earlier. All the parts are wood or metal, with no plastic. The horses have leather reins and bridles, and small chains to link them to the yoke, some of which is in need of attention. One leg has been broken and repaired and will need the paint matching on it (see last pic). It measures 14 inches long and 7 inches high. Any questions, please ask via our eBay messaging facility.

Because we are a charity and need to raise as much as possible for the items we sell, we prefer to keep each listing as an auction and therefore do not have a Buy It Now price, unless the item is already listed with such a price.
