{"product_id":"1940s-childs-tin-drum-victory-in-europe-motif","title":"1940s Child's Tin Drum. Decorator's Item with Victory in Europe Motif","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a great collectable vintage child's tin drum.    \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt dates to the late 1940s. It is not annotated with any maker's name - but it is certainly a good quality one and British Made. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design features lots of little images of soldiers playing drums, a gun-carriage, a toy pull-along horse - and a soldier playing a bugle with a banner hanging below with the letter V on it - which I think is the letter representing victory. This helps me to date this wee toy drum to just after the end of the war - and late 1940s. There is also a naive representation of a castle flying English flags - I think that the castle might be Dover Castle. I have taken photographs of all the details for your inspection. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI like how details of the ropes that you might find on a real drum have been printed on the toy one. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe drum is in fine vintage condition - some signs of wear but no nasty dents. The condition can probably be described as commensurate with age and use. It certainly would look good on display. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is nice and clean - and I have replaced the old string (it has rather grubby) with an appropriate new one.  It comes without the original drumsticks - these would often go missing, and perhaps a blessing (noise wise!) not to have them. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe drum measures: 7 1\/2 inches in diameter and has a height of 4 1\/2 inches. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI have taken a lot of images for your inspection. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe will send to you with Royal Mail 2nd Class postage.
