Hi
Saw this at a local antique centre.

Labelled as an apprentice piece for a window display???

Incorrectly labelled as a steam roller, badge on front says Ford Marshal.

about 4ft long rolls along but I didn't see any signs of power or functionality of hatch handles or scraper operating rods.

Nice looking model, wouldn't mind the Dunlop sign either Smile

hi
Didn't spot the sign price but they have over £300 on the roller. Confused

It does look like it could be a dealer display item doesn't it? Must weigh a fair bit too Smile

When I was a kid I had a Triang Road Roller. I no longer have the toy but strangely I do have the box!

The box on its own would be worth money too (if you want to sell, that is)

I have seen many old empty toyboxes go for huge sums on Fleabay.

Thanks Jens, I might just dig it out of the attic.
