Georges Carette & Co. Open Drive Limousine. As featured in the 1911 Carette catalogue and described as a 'Landaulette' numbered 3358/39, this transfer-printed tin plate model is 13-inches long and 7½-inches high. Propelled by a spring motor, this is the better-quality example, possessing a brake lever operating the rear wheels and a reverse lever on the driver's side. In good general condition with red coachwork and gilt highlights, the 'Mors' style radiator is nickel-plated. Some remedial work to the running boards, wheels and steering column. A rare, well-crafted toy.
