ANTIQUE TOY FORT CASTLE EARLY 20th CENTURY PRE WW1 VERY RARE GERMAN HANDMADE
ANTIQUE TOY FORT / CASTLE - VERY RARE. THIS IS A SCARCE TOY DATING FROM THE EARLY 20th CENTURY, VERY LARGE, WELL BUILT AND IMPRESSIVE! THE ONLY ONE WE HAVE EVER SEEN, TRULY ONE OF A KIND. This has many small parts, all made from wood, except for Union Jack flag which is made of metal. The windows are paper and have all been stuck on and then varnished over, expertly done. All hand painted and complete. Even has a small drawbridge and an interior compartment beneath where you could hide dead soldiers! In excellent condition when you consider it is over 100 years old. Has age minor age related wear, a few scuffs, wear to the 2 rear corners of the base and 2 small parts have come loose which could easily be re-applied (see final 2 photos). With age in mind and that it was played with, it is superb though. This is a pre WW1 toy, and we suspect it is German from its appearance, and it is definitely handmade.

The castle parts are cleverly stored inside so it becomes a box. The box lid has had hinges but these have come away so the lid is loose. Again, new hinges could be fitted easy enough but with it being so old, perhaps better to leave this as it is.

Some of the parts fit with metal nails in to the forts base, but most parts are loose and simply sit in place. We have never seen another like this one! With contents packed away, this measures 18.5" x 17.5" x 6. It is a huge piece. Due to value and size, this will have to be posted via Parcel Force, which is expensive I know!
