General Auction Including Antiques, Collectables Gold & Silver (14% Buyers Commission)
A vintage novelty barware set designed as an early open-top motor car, resembling a 1918 Ford Model T.

The carriage is constructed from black-painted metal with gold-tone decorative cord detailing and four spoked wheels with brass-coloured hubs. A plain, uninscribed brass-tone plaque is mounted to the side. The underside features a winding key for a music box mechanism.
Length: 240mm.
