| Description : |
Young boy sitting in a homemade toy car and smiling broadly for the camera. The car's two front wheels are slightly smaller than the rear wheels and the pedals for pushing it can just been seen behind the right-hand front wheel. The car has been named 'Star'. Pedal cars were highly desirable but also expensive toys. This homemade one would be a labour of love by a skilled adult trying to please the young boy. |
