Inside is a tin stove, patterned walls, shelves, table and chairs, and a number of various other pots and pans. Condition: generally excellent. Comments: for the French market, circa 1900, the presentation sets were offered in the French Etrennes holiday catalogs of Paris department stores at that time. Value Points: delightful toy set in fine original condition.
