30" x 15" x 15". The wooden-framed store has natural finish on the front and interior,and painted wood grain on the sides and exterior. There are two removable shop windows at the front with stenciled wooden trim that match the counter trim and unusually-patterned floor. The back wall is fitted from side-to-side with display niches and spice drawers below a railed mezzanine which is accessed by the stairway at the right side which has matching railing to that of the mezzanine. The spice drawers have a natural finish that contrasts with the dark-stained framework and the porcelain labels with black lettering in old Germanic script,and there is a nice accent with the original green painted wall in the mezzanine area. There is an antique wooden-scale with brass plates and original weights,store-keeper's desk with telephone,glass-front display case of bakery goods,crates of food and glass bottles,and other accessories. Excellent condition,very fine finishes are preserved throughout. Germany,circa 1910,the store is stamped with the logo (horse image on letter G) of Carl Gross. An exceptionally well-preserved store with many deluxe features.
