Remember the days when toys were made of metal? Well of course you don't, but they were up until the 60's when plastic starting becoming the material of choice for manufacturing.
This little gem is probably from the 50's and it looks like it was used since the 50's.
It is a nice prop for an older toy room, vintage shoot with children or desk decor.
It also matches Mr Dog Poop's Massey Model 12 which was why we bought this prop as a mobile phone for his Massey.
