One of the best parts of collecting, studying, and writing about early wagons and western vehicles is the opportunity to see wood-wheeled history all over the country. Recently, a friend (George) asked if I could take some photos of his wagons and let folks know they are for sale. The wagons were in tight quarters so it was difficult to get shots showing everything. He lives fairly close and I am happy to help him get the word out.
George doesn't have internet access and has trouble hearing on the phone. Nonetheless, he told me that he's ready to turn loose of his long-time collection. He has priced these wagons to sell and they will likely go fast. He has a neighbor who can help answer questions related to the wagons. Feel free to reach out to them at 870-715-9234. This number is in the Central Time Zone - please don't call too early or late. The location of all of these wagons is Harrison, Arkansas. I'm sure one or more of these will make a Merry Christmas for someone.
