Wooden Toy Appraisal

Multi-Level Wooden Toy Parking Garage

This item is a multi-level wooden toy parking garage, likely designed for use with small toy cars. Its construction primarily features light-colored wood for the parking levels and ramps, with accents of red, blue, and grey. The main structure consists of a base, approximately 18-24 inches wide judging by the visible ruler, and multiple elevated parking decks, connected by sloping ramps. A prominent feature is a central elevator shaft made of two red posts, topped with a white sign that clearly reads "PARK" in bold red letters, bordered by blue on either side. Below the 'PARK' sign, there appears to be a string or cord, suggesting a manual lift mechanism for the elevator, which currently holds a small blue toy car. The base of the garage is grey, simulating a paved area, and includes painted details resembling parking lines and a crosswalk. Small accessory pieces are visible on the base, including a white and blue structure that looks like a ticket booth or toll gate, and a yellow and black striped barrier. The overall condition appears good, with no obvious signs of significant damage like breaks or large chips. There might be minor scuffs or wear consistent with gentle play, but a detailed assessment of patina or extensive wear cannot be made from the image alone. The craftsmanship appears sturdy and functional, typical of durable wooden toys. This style suggests it is a contemporary children's wooden toy, likely manufactured within the last 20-30 years.
