Picked up this wagon at an auction last week. Didn't really need it, but the price was right. Has anyone else ever seen plywood sides on a wagon like this? This is the first one I have ever run across. Usually they are tongue and groove boards. If it HAS been rebuilt, then whoever did it did a darn good job!
Have not looked for other markings on the running gear, but according to the bearing caps on the wheels, apparently it is a Montgomery Wards unit. (Does anybody have one of those caps? One of mine is missing!)
Nice looking wagon! I have not seen many wooden flare wagons. The wood looks in great shape!! I have attached the Heider Flare box from the Heider brochure. Good find!! Thank you for sharing it!!
Here are a couple pictures of my WC. It's a 1935 and used to belong to my grandfather. I've also attached an older photo of the same tractor wearing a mounted picker. I'm guessing it was taken in the late 40's or early 50's. The driver is my uncle.
