It's a faithful recast of one of the Taylor & Barrett Coster Cart sets. The T&B sets are from 1924, and are not as nicely painted as this example - the donkey's colouring here is very fine. You can find the original on pg 220 of Joplin's Great Book of Hollow-Cast Figures. Unfortunately, I have no idea who the recasters T&S might be. ("Coster" is the common British short form of saying "coster-monger", that is someone who sold fruits and vegetables from a cart.)

There's a different T&B coster cart on eBay right now - https://www.ebay.ca/itm/176899176645?_skw=taylor+barrett&itmmeta=01KE553RF70H5Y6BXJZTHMQ0T5&hash=item29300338c5:g:1awAAOSwNuhnybMm&itmprp=enc:AQAKAAAA0FkggFvd1GGDu0w3yXCmi1cLbK0lSd5e8eep4ectJe2X3ClkJOu24IqaL/hZZgP2vELfbr2onFTJjKBq+jTcCAxMj2tNEcuM7VfNHho3p3T2/EdMOQzNezuJhPju3q4ZYxznNd5izIlCd9lM9V4VtOgHZwv84yCV02eQwuieAmHmLEFewZ9ionF1FyMkR3M0DUjG3UCw3QIPM3xBxiuO8n6imU/VHokSMSh98DT6k3L3cHqHIuW0Qz9LvLtFRHjzYK/h5BoFm3tHCfYm9GWvxkA=|tkp:Bk9SR_iHj6XxZg - The seller claims it is repaint, but the picture of the cart underside shows a similar logo to yours. It looks like the B has been modified to an S.
