STEAM TRAMWAY - TOY TO DRIVE (YEAR 1900)
VERY RARE
The steam locomotive of the Arpajonais tramway was sold as a pull-along toy in the early years of the 20th century. It is the rarest piece offered here. With no mechanical parts, it has 4 wheels, 2 of which are on ballasted axles, and 4 loops at either end, enabling the child to attach a string. This green version (red was the other color offered) features beautifully printed metal with yellow decoration. The rounded roof, finished in matt black, is stamped "150, France". A chimney is stapled to it, and 2 side panels read "Tramways à Vapeur". The sheet metal under the floor and roof is burgundy. Length: 23 cm. Very good condition. Some of the frail uprights connecting the body to the roof are slightly deformed. Out-of-age piece, exceptional!
