Description

An artisanal folk art model of a steam traction engine, constructed from various repurposed and salvaged industrial metal components. The assembly includes large heavy-duty gear wheels used as rear wheels, a cylindrical boiler section, and a tall fluted vertical chimney. The model incorporates numerous industrial parts such as bolts, springs, and chains to simulate mechanical details, including a driver platform with a cage-style railing. The side of the central body features hand-painted white lettering reading G & M. One of the integrated spoked wheels is embossed with the mark MADE IN ENGLAND, indicating the origin of the salvaged component. The entire structure is finished in a uniform black paint.

Length: 35 cm – 38 cm.


Condition report:
