Really a smart design I think

the board on which it is mounted measures 9 3/8" x 7 3/8"

box measures 6 1/2" x 5 1/8" x 1 1/8"

The hand-painted design--really a drawing on clay--reminds me of car race flags

and dated 1965

Green and White 1940s Lionel Tin Model Train "Milking Platform" tattoos Really a smart design IThis is the second one of these I've had in the shop, and I'll buy them whenever I find them because I think they're just great. Made by Lionel Electric Trains, c. late 40s I believe, it would have been sold along with a milk truck, which would pull up in front of the platform to unload milk but now I think it just makes a great little sculpture, and a sweet platform for displaying other little things. Well rusted, but the green and cream still pop,
