| Horse cart with milk crates (and a milkwoman for a change !) - Doris Hudson delivering milk for the Co-op Dairy in Disraeli Street, Middlesbrough(UK) in 1956 |
If you are a vintage toy car collector,
you might know where these miniature milk crates belong...

| Miniature lead milk crates (1.9 x 1.6 cm) |
I got them in a lot of 1930s-1960s dollhouse items... They are very well made and pretty heavy (made of lead ?) and also tiny... The white paint has rubbed off in places... I would love to be able to remove and replace individually the little bottles of milk (Mind you, they could have gone missing)... Still they would look good as a prop in any scene of that scale and they have a real 50s feel to them...
I am quite sure they were not originally meant for a dollhouse but rather, I imagine, belong to a vintage miniature milkman's van or float ? Could they originally be from a large 50s Lesney horse drawn milk cart (Made in England) ? Some of their small scale milk crates look like these...

Well certainly, you Reader and Mrs Peel are needed to help solve the milk crate riddle...
Careful, coming off the milk float though...
