This is a hand-crafted wooden racing car model, designed in the boat-tail or skiff body style characteristic of early 20th-century Grand Prix racers. The body is formed from carved wood with a dark-stained finish. The open cockpit features a carved and red-painted bench seat and a black steering wheel. Detailing includes gold-toned external exhaust pipes and a radiator grille, which appear to be painted wood or metal components. The model is fitted with black-painted disc wheels featuring light-coloured hub details. The rear cowl displays the hand-painted numeral 88 in gold. No manufacturer’s labels, stamps, or marks are present on the visible surfaces of the item.
