A birthday present to myself. The seller had this listed at an aggressive BIN.  After two weeks of negotiations we agreed upon a fair price. 

The paint work is exquisite.

And, yes, I have the flags that go on the top; I forgot to put them on before making the video.

This is quite a rare accessory in any condition.  As you can see in the video, the paintwork on the figures is almost perfect.

I hope you enjoy the video.

Thank you Arnold and Nick.

I now have five different "Swing Accessories" made by:

1. Doll;

2. Trevs Tool Box (I believe he only made one of these);

3. Empire Replica from SPS Steam Works (aka Saint Paul Steam);

4. Hawekotte & Klausmann (H&K); and

5. the KM&Co (Wilhelm Krauss) in the original post in this thread.

You can see the Doll and Trevs Tool Box versions in this video (together with my two Empire Ferris Wheels):



H&K Swings in this video:



And the Empire Replica in this video (with the Trevs Tool Box version):



I do like carnival ride accessories; and, I acquired a very nice Doll Ferris Wheel model from the Morton Hirschberg Collection:
