Thayer baby carriage model 1265

By greyelf, 17 July, 2009
Description

Condition is fair at this point, though some polishing up could raise the condition (I just got back possession of the carriage.) There is the same mattress in it today as it was when I got it at the Goodwill in 1984. I have not done an all over inspection of the bonnet since it has come back into my possession, so I cannot verify the complete condition, but would estimate it to be fair. The metal does have some surface rust that could be polished. I really only want a ballpark estimate of what something like this goes for nowadays and if anyone even buys them. (I got it to cart around my sleeping baby in comfort through the house so she wouldn't be disturbed and then took it to the babysitter's house for the baby to sleep in during the day so she could do the same. If pictures end up being needed, I can probably get some put up.
