While there were hundreds of toy accessories made for Jr. to operate with his new steam engine, perhaps the premier of all accessories is this cloth manufacturing toy made by Doll. The toy takes the cotton from the gin though the processing to the weaving of the cloth. A rare and magnificent depiction of the cloth making industry as it was known in the late 1800s. Only two or three of this accessory are known to have survived. There is paint loss, surface discoloration and the toy is dirty; however, the rarity makes up for its lack of condition.
Condition: (Good - Very Good).
Item Dimensions: 14" x 25". Base: 27".
