Marmet Lady
The Marmet Lady was the forerunner to the Marmet Queen. This is a wonderful pram and so elegant with that gorgeous chrome, swan-necked handle which runs all the way beneath the body, I particularly like this style of pram.
The Lady has the same lovely crescent shape as the Queen, the same 24 and 20 inch wheels and the interior has the Marmet 'nanny purse', I don't know of another maker who did anything like that.
The Lady had no knob for the hand brake, the tyres needed replacing (already replaced in this photograph) some of the chrome was in need of renewal and there were no hub caps on it. The body and chassis needed respraying. On the plus side, there was no rust anywhere, so it had obviously been stored somewhere dry, damp sheds and attics are the enemy of a coachbuilt pram. The hood, apron and interior were in need of renewal although there was no actual damage they were just very tired, really.
