Kilgore Cast Iron Furniture and Bike *SOLD*

Kilgore Cast Iron Furniture and Bike

Orange you green with envy on this beautiful Kilgore set of doll furniture.  Toys like this were used for doll houses and loose toy play in the 1930’s.  This orange color is a big challenge to find, then specific pieces like the toy scooter/bike are very tough on their own.

Condition is used with chipping.  Paintwork is original.

The high chair has a particularly intricate design, then the bike has a ton of charm.  The crib and rolling cart are great.  The one chair appears to have room for a chamber pot (yes, old school toilet), then the final chair is a great rocker.
