Toys.   Antique French Merry Go Round Carousel filled with cut out character figures in fabulous colors.  Each character is amazing and in vivid colors as shown. This seems to be all hand made with thick cardboard and cut out antique French figures which were added on with glue... some being tattered due to age however this entire French antique Merry Go Round remains charming in its own tattered way.  It would need TLC with re-gluing on some of the characters and the upper tent area which is fabric has been damaged and torn and soiled due to age as well would need repairs as the upper fabric tent top is torn and looks to be hand sewn back on however not in a professional way.. You could easily add another tent top using antique fabric if you wish or leave in its charming way as shown.  This piece would be great if you have antique bisque dolls as each Airplane has a opening for a little figure if you prefer... each thick hand made cardboard or thin wood airplane(which they are hand made from)  has a propeller at front center and a one missing and these are made of plastic... Each section is detailed in its own delightful way.  Each airplane having a name as well.  The center upper interior has lovely  (made of wood & heavy cardboard) half circles hand done in a colorful painting  & blue velvet antique fabric and placed within one another to form this wonderful design.  The upper interior center is filled with colorful figures as well as the center tube like section shown.  Roping holds the airplanes in place and one can swing them with your hands as they are not permanently glued in anyway--you can swing them back and forth.  The base is wood and painted in antique paint.  Its a wonderful piece even with all its flaws which can be easily mended if you have the time--or again if you prefer--leave it in its own charming fantasy antique French way. Again, this piece is tattered, soiled, stained, has tears, rips and need some TLC..  Being sold as in and in as found condition. 

Measures:  approx: 23.5" Tall,  The wood base is 13" by 11.5". The airplanes:  7.5" by 6 3/3" at largest.  Top Cloth is 22.5" across.  Figures: 4" Tall. Center Tube like Circumference having fabric and painted motifs 21" in circumference. 

     Wonderful Antique German Merry Go Round Carousel  from France and hand-made of light weight wood.  The base beneath shown the mechanism and center turns by means of a handle at the one side.  Amazing in beauty of the entire piece having the center able to turn by means of the handle.  Due to age when the handle turns it performs well however the wooden carriages turn slowly with a gentle up and down movement--which I believe was meant to be by the craftsmen who made it.  Each wood carriage within seems to be hand made as well which one might wish to add one of their bisque dolls.  Each section was cut individually and this entire piece was made by hand.

     Done in fabulous colors of pinks and blue and off white, gold, and cream colors. The French word "Caisse" is shown in wood on the one section having colored paper behind  and when the center light is lit everything reflects within. Notice how this entire section is hand carved out showing each section of the colored paper.   Small Brass applied Lyre pieces surround the center lower panels in addition to wonderful French gold and blue fringe going up and down each section bar.  Please also notice the inner two-tone walk way surrounding the center outer section... it is done in a white with wood grain effect...   This is truly a Charming hand made French Merry Go Round / Carousel to cherish forever. One brass Lyre fall out which will be glued back in addition to one of the gold wood small railing shown  in the photo.  I had the light & wire cord replaced for the USA plug professionally so the wire is good for plugging into any USA socket. The entire center light area is made of wood having Antique fringe and wired to upper. 

Measures: 22"- 25" widest with fringe at upper width across the top  by 19" at base width by 22" Tall. approx size.  Note: after photos the blue tassel at center upper fall off.. it can be re-glue and I will ship it with piece when purchased.  Please note:  Each section has beautiful Antique fabric behind and at upper... Each being hand cut for each section shown & applied and glued.

Toys/TrainGerman.    Wonderful large size Z Scale Train Case Suitcase.  As shown in many photos the interior is already laid out in tracks, bridges, and lots of wonderful curves for your exciting trains.  I am giving Free all the houses and scrubs you see in photos.  No trains come with this. Its a wonderful piece in which someone in the past did the layout along with the large size photos attached to the inside of the back of case.. The entire lid can be lifted off completed as shown or you can use the background on the interior lid by attaching to the hooks which are already attached to the suitcase.  There are controlled with wiring as shown also and stickers from the other user..  Naturally there are dings and scratches surrounding however in my opinion all seems to be good condition considering its a older piece.  Someone also in the past has attached wonderful strong wood for supporting this case and support for standing with the wood shown attached along with adding all the wiring attached to it.  I bought it in Europe while traveling and now selling this wonderful piece for someone to enjoy and treasure it.  All the scrubs and buildings have been removed for photos both with all these things and shown without all these things.  Each was merely pushed into the scenery as shown and I am giving free all the decorations as mentioned the trees, buildings, scrubs. .  As shown also there is lighting shown inside--not sure of the working order.  I am not familiar with everything in this train case and described it the best to my knowledge. It is indeed an exciting piece and really a beautiful piece that one could take along anywhere they go inside their car.

The Exterior is a reddish color and the scene is a large paper attached to the backside of the top on the interior as shown. There are smudges on the scene due to age yet remains to show up just as nice. The wood is strong and heavy which was attached to support the case and for all the wiring and standing as shown.  There is a handle which is lightweight and I always carried it into one room and another by the suitcase and not the handle due to the heaviness of the case. There are locks at the front for clipping it down for locking position.  There is no need for a key as its like a clip on both sides for locking the case shut.  The German writing is attached and in paper and I do not know what it says although its a nice color of bright yellow and rather adds to the excitement of this case. Not sure about the electrical as I am not a train person.

Its a wonderful quality piece of enjoyment  and something to treasure forever and show others your little treasures you have inside.  Again, No trains come with this Train case.

Measures Approx.  29" Wide by 21.5" Deep by 6 3/4" Tall on the Exterior.. And the Wood size is: 29" Wide by 6" Deep       SOLD

Toys/FrenchSailingBoat.      Antique/vintage French Sailing wood Boat. Needs TLC.  These were made at the first part of the 1900's and wonderful for children & adults to be played with on their pond or nearly small lake area.--purchased in France and needs to be re-painted and the sail cleaned. Its made of wood having a heavy lead area at center of base as shown.   This is all original as found and as shown.  I added a tape measure to the photos for sizing. Loss of paint missing, soiled/dirty cotton sail which seems to be all there as shown.  This would truly be a beauty after restoring.  

A wonderful toy from our past to remember and a great decorative piece --yet collectable.
