What a rare find! Beautiful collectors piece!

This is an infant carrier - used by medical facilities and midwives - to transport newborns.

Produced by Wilkins Trunk Company of Dallas, (brass name plate) likely from the early to mid-20th century.

It’s a metal and wood latch box with sliding viewing window, mesh screen on one end (very similar to today’s pet carriers), brass rivets and latches.

While showing a bit of wear, I believe it is nearly identical to the one in the black and white photo in this listing.

Inside are some (moth nibbled) baby shirts and a “mattress” pad, all stamped “Arkansas Department Of Health”.

A second brass plate atop the carrier reads property of the same.

It is a very sturdy piece with working latches and is fully functional.

Acquired by me through the sale of an estate in which the closure of a small New Mexico doll museum was a part.

Final sale - as is.

Free USA shipping.
