Model 11 - Marble Roller Vintage Toy

Item: The model 11 is out of stock so it's off the the Manspace to make some sawdust (next year it will be the model 12)? This is an individual marble chase version and has turned up as a turtle, a bee, and a lady bug when the art department completes it. A Whirly Wheel is planned for this particular one when it goes in to Donnas Art. I can't wait to see what she has in mind for this model 11. Not found in stores, not seen on TV, no two alike and quantities are limited. See more at http://www.whimsytwo.etsy.com/.
Here is the base with catch borders and takeaway table slanted to the front coming off the last rail and the uprights are in place. This is an old fashioned version where the marbles drop from rail to rail on the descent and how the drop through is made with a 3/4" forstner.
The exit and first rail are in place and some early paint on these initial parts for accessibility as we begin the stack up.
