Bespoke Vintage Wooden Smallworld Box
(Option to personalise )
This very special box of fun started with a 1949 potato crate and a collection of East German wooden toys made by Erzgebirge.
Then the child in us came out! 
Gladstone Studios became a toy hospital! Many hours have been spent reviving, crafting and creating Smallworld. Missing legs and arms have been replaced with newly handcarved limbs.Houses & figures have been freshened up only retaining as much of the original artwork. We hand built a train track that can be reconfigured any which way you like. All of the pieces have velcro to attach to each other. There are curves and straight pieces.
 
The fairground arrived just in time for Christmas!
What is included?
Large Handcrafted Box with Lid.
The base of the box is a1949 potato crate. FL CROSS  and 1949 original stenciled stamp is still visable on the front panel.
The crate has been sanded and waxed and the rest of the box made in the same style.
A sturdy handmade hinged lid has been added which closes tightly.
The lid can be opened so that it is flat and can be used as another play area.
