Description
In this general store the rich offer is presented in various shelves and two display windows at the front. A (painted) clock, scales, bags, and a counter with a slot for coinage are part of the furnishings, as are numerous, labeled drawers. As can be concluded from the large number of preserved merchant stores from the period between 1880 and 1910, it was at that time a very popular and produced in large numbers children's toys.
