This is an old wooden toy, in its original period patina, representing a team of oxen hitch with a small handmade toy fire tanker truck. The chassis: a long wooden plank with 3 rocking axles. The metal-tubed tank sits on top. It is typically an artisanal toy from the 1950s. A well-worn item, patinated wood. In its period look. Perfect for a workshop decor, a child’s shelf, a collection of antique toys. An Auvergnat hitch (ox-drawn cart and its wagon), presumably built by the French manufacturer Jouets Dejou between the 1940s and 1950s. Overall good aesthetic condition with its patina and wear (missing a small chain and the tail of one ox). The in-house foreman Géraud Nissou, charmed by the peasant draft teams of the era, submits this prototype, produced in 200,000 copies. Main features: Origin: made in Auvergne by the Dejou company, famous for its wooden animals and carts. Composition: two oxen carved from raw wood, yoked together, and a wooden-wheeled cart with a metal banding. Model: this type of piece often corresponds to the draft-team or ox-drawn cart model listed under reference 907 in the brand’s old catalogs. Wonderful collectible piece or vintage decorative item, ideal for a rustic, warm ambiance. Detachable toy for careful shipment!
