"Great is the power of memory that dwells in places." (from Cicero)

Post wagon with carriage and harnessed horses

Most toys from Val Gardena were mass produced, yet there were also some carefully made unique items, like this post wagon with access door, double shafts, yellow varnishing and the writing 'K.K. Post'. As of 1856, post wagons accessed Val Gardena on the road through the valley, and in 1867 Val Gardena was joined up with the Brennero railway via Ponte Gardena, which made doing business in the valley a lot easier.
