The statue of liberty was a gift from the people of France, was designed by French sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi and its metal framework was built by Gustave Eiffel. The statue was dedicated on October 28, 1886. It looks as though this is a model in iron.
So probably Paris pre 1886.

It’s the 1/4 scale statue given to Paris by the Americans in 1889.

That roller is not on heavy haulage duties, it’s clearly on passenger duty
