It must be sixty years old, but it's still serviceable. The wheels aren't original -- the original wheels and their bearings went south long ago. It used to have removeable side, front and rear enclosure 'fences' that plugged into steel receptacles, but those are long gone. Anyway, what's left of it is still a useable wagon, and a tangible connection to my long lost boyhood.
I just finished giving its hardwood body an application of Thompson's Water Seal, in hopes of making it last maybe another sixty years.
