i need info on this item it's in excellent condition, but how much is it worth? it has had some screws replaced on umberlla top, the wheels are wood even the spokes, looks like it was hand craved piece by piece.
May be early 1990's, I sold these then. They were imported from the Philipines.
Concur with rob and rocker-- modern made decorators item.

I posted one quite similar on here several months ago and was also told it was a repro. The differences in a reproduction and an original are pretty obvious in most cases. The differences in price are not that great, about $100 to $130 dollars difference. I ended up driving almost three hours to have mine examined but I came home without it. A doll collector in Ocala now owns it. The lady drove a hard bargain but she sure knew her stuff.
That being said, I have to agree that this is a reproduction.
PS: The lady contacted me from an ad I posted on Kijijii in the collectibles area.
