A green cartoonishly-styled 0-6-0 lithographed tinplate locomotive (number 6000), by Charles Rossignol circa 1908. The loco is a "floor toy" – it isn't designed to run on track.
Style and markings
The loco has a cab similar to a Stirling Single, and its wide baseframe is reminiscent of the French Crampton locomotives.
The loco's lithography includes three "plates", two rectangular panels at the front and rear of the boiler marked "6.000" and "FRANCE", and a central more ornate plaque marked "C.R.", for "Charles Rossignol".
