Old Black and Spotted Wooden Dog on Wheel large whirligig This sweet and truly lovelyThe paint job on this old dog pull toy won me over, especially the perfectly round spot at the very center of his side, plus the half black, half white ears, which swing to and fro. And the red wheels that make him a three wheeler. I have a hard time resisting a sweet old wooden pull toy, and think this is a very good one. 7 1 2" tall x 5 3 4" long x 4" wide. Scuffs and scrapes all over, and some paint loss here and there. Rolls along smoothly.
