Custom-made Wooden Willys WWII Military Jeep and Trailer
~All Hardwoods~
This beautiful Custom-made Willys World War II Military Jeep is a masterful creation by a master wood craftsman and military Veteran.
All of the parts of this Jeep and Trailer were custom made, in all hardwoods, from a paper pattern by Toys and Joys. Then it was assembled. This labor of love adds up to about 60 hours of time.
Now you see the wonderful finished product, and you can own it!
Measurements: Jeep – 12-1/2″ long x 6″ high (top of windshield) x 5-1/4″ wide, Trailer – 10-1/2″ long (with the tongue) x 3-3/4″
Condition: New, Custom-made, One of a kind
A fantastic item to add to your collection, or it would make a great gift!!
