Red clockwork carriage with key. There are no manufacturer's marks on the carriage. It is believed to be late 19th century.

We lived far away from any shops and as it took several hours to get to Adelaide by horse and sulky we rarely went there, but sometimes Father brought home as a treat a mechanical toy or a special game. We could read only when the jobs were completed and we had washed our hands - but not on Sundays. The mechanical toys were brought out on very special occasions and used under the strictest supervision. (Bayfield pp.3-4)

The family donated a collection of books toys and games to the State Library in the 1980s.
