    Description

    Just found out this toy was made by the Century Boat Company, 1952-53, Manistee, MI, painted wood circus wagon has two actions, besides being pulled by a string.  This would have been made within the first two years of their creating the line of toys.  The Giraffe and Lion move up and down like a see-saw while the head of the Elephant in front nods up and down, both simply geared to the wheels below. The paint job is excellent for an old toy like this, and the photos should reveal any very small flaws.  When hooked together the length is appox 18 3/4" L x 12" H (at Giraffe head) and 5" W across the rear wheels.  The weight of the two pieces is approx. 3 pounds.  There is not company name, but it clearly was made as a product line by some company, not a home-made toy.  The Elephant has a curious look to him.  The Giraffe lifts out easily, held by 2 plugs.  The Lion is tightly in place.  Check out my OTHER ITEMS/SELLER STORE.

BUT, I compare costs to Fed Ex and UPS, and refund any overpayment that exceeds .00.
