Double decker stagecoach

By psrock, 27 July, 2008
Description

This stagecoach is very detailed. It looks like the person who made it was learning as they worked, as you can one side ih different than the other. (Railings are flat on one side and turned on the other) It is 12" wide, 38" long, 26" High. 

All the latches and hinges look handmade and all of them work. All doors open or slide as they should, the benches in all the doorwasy are hinged so they can lift and open for passengers to board. The inside has benches in it as well, on both floors. The wheels move and turn, it can be steered easily and works just as a real stagecoach would. This is a family treasure which I inherited and I would love to know more about it's history and value. I do have more detailed pictures available.
