Although the tooling for this kit goes back to the '50s and was originally sold as the "Lion and Gladiator Tableau Wagon", my introduction to this was as a K-Line wagon from back in the mid-to-late '90s. This one was packaged in a header bag as an easy-to-assemble kit. As you'll see in future posts, these plastic wagons were produced in a myriad of color combinations by a variety of manufacturers - and I luv 'em all! :-) This particular one has: green seats and sides; gold top and ends and scrollwork; and silver bottom and running gear (I chose not to include the wagon tongue in this photo essay). K-Line was the only maker that also offered these as already built up. Enjoy! Opa Fritz
These photo's were culled from the Internet and show the real-life inspiration for the toy. The two aren't exactly the same but you can clearly see the resemblance.
