You are looking at a vintage prewar tunnel. It is made of wood with an overlay of a composite plaster material that has been painted. This one has the original sticker still ont he inside with what I believe is the item number.
I think this one is likely of German manufacture, possible Bing or one of the many German toy makers back then. I suppose it could be a postwar Japanese copy?
It measures
- 8" long

This tunnel measures approximately 10" long, 10" wide outside to outside, and about 7 inches tall. Has an interesting horseshoe shaped opening.
It is possible this tunnel was for a wind up set?
Great with early wind up, O or even S!
