Frame made of birch molded plywood, surface made of red linoleum with birch edging. Lower shelf made of birch wood, basket made of wicker.

The rubber wheels are not brittle and run excellently. The removable wicker basket is also in excellent condition. There are various stains and discolorations on the red linoleum shelf. However, this does not spoil the perfect overall condition. Length 80cm. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
