As far as I know this is the largest size
of Stagecoach Tudor Rose made, like
yesterday's SPG, it's 'beach-toy' scale and exactly the sort of thing you'd
find in the seaside kiosks when I was a kid; in a poly-bag or net, with a
cardboard header and a couple of the larger mounted figures from the same
maker.
It is marked Tudor Rose but it doesn't show in the photograph and I assume the
bar has been taped-in to strengthen the draw-bar/centre-pole manufactured in TR's usual soft ethylene polymer.
This is from Wilton in the 'States, clearly a cake decoration (as that's what Wilton does do in'nit!), it was lacking a
team, but I suspect it never had one (there's no obvious way of attaching one
anyway), or if it did they were probably unicorns or something daft like that;
Pegasus's (Pegasii?)!
I guess (that's like an assumption but less
firm!) it's aimed at wedding cakes, but 'trailer-park' rather than 'society'!
Anyway it's about the largest thing I've seen in the cake decoration stakes at
around 1:30th. You might be able to read the marks - Wilton - Chicago - Made in
Hong Kong - on the hard styrene body.
