Rare collectors item priced to sell: Authentic circa 1880 Francis Carpenter Cast Iron Two Horse Dump Cart / Wagon with Man and Woman figures. Galloping Horse mechanism and all wheels move as intended when rolled on a surface. The underside of the cart has a latch which allows the cart to tilt and "dump" with ease.
The horses have different patent dates on each side of each horse ranging from 1880-1881 approximately. The chassis and axle dates range from 1880-1883. The cart has... three different patent dates and notes a reissue. The woman figure has the letters "P A T." at the bottom side. Male figure does not have any writing. Male figure has a hole presumably for a chain.
The body of the cart has approximately 60% of its paint, as well as the detachable seat. The man is painted a black paint color, approximately 80%. All other parts of the item including the woman, horses, frame, and wheels do not appear to have any paint. Item definitely shows wear and tear (minor, see pictures), but does not appear to have any visible cracks/chips in the cast iron that I was able to find.
Dimensions and weight are approximate:Length: 12.5"Height: 4.5" (not including people figures)Width: 5"Weight (all inclusive): 63.1 ounces (4 lbs)
Will consider reasonable offers, would love to see this item restored. Items will be wrapped in ample bubble wrap and shipped USPS with insurance, tracking, and required signature upon delivery. International purchasing through Ebay's Global Shipping Program is accepted as well. Please ask for any more photos or info prior to purchasing. Thank you!
