Description
A collection of vintage toy farm items and a model building, in the style of Britains Ltd and other contemporary British manufacturers. The animals, figures, and vehicles are constructed from hollow-cast lead and early die-cast metal. The model thatched-roof cottage is made from a composite material with a textured finish. The collection includes multiple horses, featuring a dapple grey, a white horse with harness markings, a brown foal, and a dark brown horse in a partial harness. There are several pigs in pink and black finishes. Two human figures are present, consisting of a standing farmhand and a seated driver. Horse-drawn vehicles include a green two-wheeled cart, a brown tip-style cart, and a green carriage or gig, along with an additional cart chassis. The group also features two green-painted benches. These are static display models without internal mechanisms. No manufacturer marks are visible on the items.
Cottage width: 10 inches (25.4 cm).
