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.
