Age 
  • One owner.  Owner lived in Lafayette & Indianapolis, Indiana. 
  • Carriage has been in a box for decades.  
  • I believe the carriage is from the 1930s or 40s, perhaps earlier.  

Condition
  • This beautiful unique carriage, is well constructed and rolls along easily with a gentle push on the cast iron wheels. 
  • I don't see any cracks. 
  • I gave the carriage a gentle dusting, and left the carriage pretty much as is.  Carriage wheels have rust, carriage has small chips & dust. 
  • The glass can slide upward from under the push pins, so you may remove the 6 pieces of glass if you like. 
  • The steps into the carriage are held on by 2 little thin spikes.  The steps can easily be removed.  If you like, you can use glue if you would like them more securely attached.  When I mail the carriage, I will remove the steps & package them separately inside the box.
  • The roof of the carriage is not attached, it easily lifts off. If you like, you can place items inside the carriage. I will mail the carriage with the roof off & packaged separately inside the box. 
  • The wood below the axle on the right side, in photo 6, the little notch easily slides to fit into the wood piece directly above. 
  • I would say this vintage toy royal carriage, today, is more of a display piece, rather than a toy for a child.
