About the Item
Some history on salesman samples-
An aggressive form of direct marketing by companies pushing their specific products, these miniature goods, known as salesman samples, were easily transportable by traveling salespeople. They allowed dealers to showcase a variety of items that could then be ordered directly from a manufacturer. Once a salesman snagged a buyer, he secured a deposit and placed the order. When the item was made and shipped, the buyer would complete the transaction.
Commonly used in the 19th and 20th centuries, salesman samples were exact duplicates of the larger pieces, showing extensive and important details. They fall into two categories: those that work and those that do not. Working samples, more common prior to 1920, can help date a piece. It is easy for a collector to confuse a true salesman sample from a child’s toy. Look for great detail and specific aspects of the product — not what you would find on a small-scale toy.
This is a beautiful piece.
Fully functional.
Great detail.
