This one came from Scott’s collection. I am not sure of the maker…

According to one of your other postings, it's a Doll. Your symphony in motion.
You have two postings. It's in the second one from 2018. The forth reply, half
way down in the left column. Sold back then for $350.

Yes, Scott bought it from the Hirschberg collection, but the book was not right on everything. In one video he has it listed as Bing… I cannot find any old literature on it… I believe I gave $25 more than Scott did, but that was only because I seen how fun it was in his video  :D

His first video he titled it “Doll, Bing, Falk, Carette?”





And a year later as “Bing coal cart”

Nick, I think that one you have from Scott is the same one in the Pook & Pook page. I can't blow
it up but maybe you can. Look at yours and look at the auction picture. Pay attention to the side
of the mine, the pattern and paint, and look at the missing blue paint on the front post at the
other end.
I'm seeing it as the same one.

Yes, it is the same one, the Pook & Pook sale was the Morton Hirschberg collection (Author of Steam Toys: A Symphony in Motion). I remember Scott buying it and I later bought it from his sale for $25 or $50 more.

Haha, that’ll happen… by the way, not only do I not know the maker, but it was also pointed out to Scott that this might not even be a coal miner because of the crusher at the end. I t was suggested that it may be an iron ore mine…
