Folding Metal Trolley with Blue Panel and Castor Wheels
This lot is a folding metal trolley finished in blue and cream. It has a cream painted tubular frame, a blue textured covering to its main panel, and a cream painted metal panel with a raised, ribbed design to its underside.
The trolley is fitted with four swivel castor wheels with black rubber treads, each mounted on a steel plate with bolted fixings. A cross bar and hinged mechanism are visible on the frame, indicating that the trolley folds for compact storage. The combination of painted steel and simple utilitarian styling is typical of mid-twentieth-century trolleys of this type. No maker’s name or model designation is evident.
Used Condition with Visible Wear
This trolley shows clear signs of use. The blue covering has light scuffing and marks across its surface, and there is a small yellowish mark on the cream panel. The cream paint shows general wear consistent with age and handling. The castor wheels appear to be original to the trolley, with the wheel fixings secured to the base plates. Functionality has not been confirmed, and the lot is offered as seen, with no guarantee of its working order or completeness.
Its simple retro design and robust metal construction may appeal to collectors of vintage trolleys, to those restoring period storage or workshop pieces, and to buyers seeking a practical folding trolley with a distinctive two-tone finish.
