I'd think this old handmade cart was made for a toy circus, perhaps to grandly deliver the conductor to the big top. I love it for those hand-carved wheels and alligatored paint, and especially for the gold stars painted on the sides. Now, I'd probably find a good figure to display standing it in, ideally one giving a big wave!
12” l x 6 3/4” w x 4” t and in good, sturdy, rolling condition. There is one split in the surface of the wood at the center of the cart's front curve.
