Description

The bathing machine was a device, popular in the 18th and 19th centuries, to allow people to change out of their usual clothes into swimwear and then wade into the ocean at beaches (without being seen by the opposite sex). Bathing machines were roofed and walled wooden carts rolled into the sea. Some had solid wooden walls; others had canvas walls over a wooden frame.

This one comes complete with wheels, stairs, a door and 3 windows. And a roof that you can choose to glue down or lift off to see the interior easier.

Laser cut from heavy chipboard. Ships flat, but easy to put together with a bit of glue. Comes complete with the dowels for the wheel axles. Finished size is approx. 6-1/2" tall x 5-1/2" long (without the stairs) x 3" wide (including the wheels). (The door is about 3" tall.)
