Description
Unique metal train sculpture crafted from tin metal with a copper finish inspired by Curtis Jere. This brutalist train sculpture features a wind-up mechanism that allows the train to move slowly around the track when the center hook is wound and released. It also has a musical component, though it is quite faint; it likely originally played "I've Been Working on the Railroad." Made in Hong Kong, this piece measures approximately 10 inches in diameter and 5 inches in height. This would make a wonderful gift for train enthusiasts.
Condition:
Alterations: Original Condition Unaltered
Imperfections: Some Imperfections
Condition Notes: In very good vintage condition with normal wear for its age. The music box is very faint, but it might be possible to improve the volume; I leave that up to the buyer. Still a functional and fun piece for a train enthusiast.
