100 yr old wooden wagon from Germany (Langley)

100 yr old wooden wagon from Germany

The story with this wagon it was passed down between generations within Germany and shipped overseas to Canada with the great grandson who was a traveling man. He had a few family treasures from his great Grandpa in which he shipped to each country he traveled and stayed for periods of time. I caught him at an opportune time where he needed money for further travels and I was able to make him part with it for quite a sum of money. I was also able to make him part with another antique but that will remain in my collection. It was more about the opportunity of even having a shot at being able to make an offer for this true antique. About 7 years ago when I was searching for old antique wagons I came across a wagon relatively near this age of cart for sale in San Francisco for 1500 which sold before I could get it. I am starting to let go of my antique collection as I am refining my collection and getting ready to downsize. A conversation with a old gentleman who saw this wagon when he caught a glimpse when I was moving a few years back mentioned the wife and him were searching all over Europe for years trying to find one of these antique wagons and finally ended up finding something like this in Europe but paid a fortune just to have it shipped over to Canada. He made a nice offer but I wasn t ready to part with it back then. It is about opportunity timing and luck. We will see who has all 3 on their side if there are any true antique collectors out there. This is a fragile piece. It has to be very well taken care of. No turning it into steam punk art and making a dreaded coffee table out of it please. Respect the antique. Hoping there is a true collector out there to make a deal with. L 45 xW 24 xH 30 Thank you for your time and interest.
