HERE ARE THE FACTS:
Description/Dimensions/Details:
When it's said, "...they don't make 'em like this anymore!..." this is the very kind of item referred to. By-gone materials, fabrication, transportation, and socialization all summed up in a child's (big or small) toy. Cast iron fashioned into an open window four-axle electric trolley car. This example is made by a Pennsylvanian foundry as old as the concept of trolley cars itself. There are a few cities that have retained these transportation anachronisms (New Orleans, San Francisco, and even Bristol, Connecticut) if you still want to hear the 'clang, clang, clang' of the trolley.
