This is a cast iron, miniature sweeper, made by the Kilgore Mfg.Co. of Westerville,Ohio. This Sally Ann Sweeper was made in the 1930’s as part of their dollhouse toys collection. Made of cast iron, it has Sally Ann written on the top in raised lettering, bottom is tin, handle is nickel plated . Size is 3 ½ inches height and base is 1-1/4 inch by 2 inches, wheels turn as intended, most of original paint remains. This is shown it both their 1929 and 1931 catalogs as "enameled baby blue" but looks blue/gray to me. It was their stock No. T-27 Carpet Sweeper, and was sold both alone and in boxed sets with other household pieces.
