Miniature yet mighty, this vintage tyrannosaurus rex would make a fun decor accent on an office desk, in a man cave, or any place else you'd like an injection of fun.

The vintage toy dinosaur would make a great gift for the dinosaur enthusiast. The dinosaur figurine comes with the gift box shown in photograph one.

SRG (Sell Rite Gifts) made a full line of cast metal dinosaur toy figurines from 1947 until about 1955. The dinosaurs were sold at the American Museum of Natural History in New York and other natural history museum across the United States.

Cast from metal with a bronzed finish, the dinosaur has a wonderful patina of age.

This tiny t-rex dinosaur model is in good condition showing light wear.

The dinosaur statue is marked 47 SRG on his belly.

Measures approximately 2 inches tall by 2 3/4 inches long.


Originally made as children's toys, the SRG dinosaurs in my shop are being sold as display pieces and collectibles for adults as the vintage toys most likely do not meet current toy safety guidelines.
