Vintage Cold Painted Spelter Tin Toy Asian Elephant Figurine Noah’s Ark Edwardian 1920s

Description

We are delighted to be able to offer for sale this rare late Edwardian era 1920s child’s toy.

A toy model Asian Elephant fashioned from a heavy weight metal ‘Spelter’ and in its original cold painted finish.
