Ado Kids Wheelbarrow by Ko Verzuu 1950

About the Item

Rare wheelbarrow designed by Ko Verzuu for Ado in ca 1950. Ado means Arbeid door onvolwaardigen, translated; labor by incapacitated, which makes this an even more special piece. Toys by Ado are being highly collected at the moment, even more than ever cause this is very decorative combined with 1950s furniture from all countries! Everyone can see these toys are inspired by De Stijl and Rietveld. This wheelbarrow looks a lot like the crate series from Rietveld and it is still in very good original condition. The green wheel looks great in contrast with the wood, signed with the big green Ado sign at the front. Would look highly decorative in any modern design interior as decoration or for a kid’s collection.

  • Ado Ko Verzuu Toy Crate Truck Holland 1948
    By Ko Verzuu
    Located in Roosendaal, Noord Brabant
    Rare collectible toy large toy truck designed by Ko Verzuu for Ado Holland in 1950. Ado means Arbeid door onvolwaardigen, translated; labor by incapacitated, which makes this an even more special piece. Toys by Ado are being highly collected at the moment, even more than ever cause this is very decorative combined with 1950s furniture from all countries! Very nice red, blue and yellow truck, handmade and hand painted. This is a service truck with seperate wooden carts to be loaded on and off with a little winch. De Bijenkorf sold a lot of Ado furniture in the 30s-60s. Ado toys have a great charm because of their played look and original age wear but this one is very well kept. This car is in a fantastic original condition. Would be an amazing addition to any interior or collection as a decorative object with a beautiful history. Have a look at the large collection of trucks we have available at the moment. Jacobus Johannes Josephus (Ko) Verzuu, a former construction supervisor from Utrecht, led the ADO workshops.
