How many are left? Studebaker farm wagons

[Chris_Dresbach]

Just out of my own curiosity, how many origional Studebaker wagons are still out there? I don't mean the '50s-'60s wagons, but the origional wooden farm wagons, possibly built by the brothers.[?]

Here are 3 that are stored in the basement of a building in South Carolina. They are possible exhibits for a proposed future museum. In the same room is an old cotton gin. I think the wagons were used in the same business as the gin for hauling off cotton seed as the gin was operated. In addition to these, I have a friend who owns a doctor's buggy and a farm wagon. The farm wagon was purchased new at a store in my town in the late 1800's.

Plain Brown,

I believe you need a lesson in wagon identification. I would not consider any of these farm wagons, though the side spring wagon (#2) may have been used for hauling small goods on a farm. However, it is too light duty for any real hauling tasks. The cut under was strictly a passenger vehicle and the peddlers wagon appears to be built on a side spring platform, but again, not a farm wagon.

For reference, here is my 2 board farm wagon. Notice the heavy axles.



Note the door that opens at the back to allow grain to be removed.



This is my side spring wagon, though I currently have the top and the back seat off of it. It has a tailgate that folds down.



I also have three buggies. Some of you may remember this one from the cover of Turning Wheels a couple of years ago or from the registration area at the Lancaster meet.



I took this one to South Bend in 2007 and it was the only horse drawn vehicle there.



I have one other buggy with a top, but no pictures of it at present.

There are MANY Studebaker farm wagons around (probably hundreds of Studebaker horse drawn vehicles).

I saw a nice carriage at a show this past summer in CT. Remember that one, Bob B?

It was very nice. I think the owner said he had nineteen different carriages. The Studebakers and your Packard in a row and the horses and Studebaker carriage were crowd pleasers.

Cool. Wasn't too sure of how many were left, being wood, thought they would have rotted. All most seems like they are overlooked sometimes, but glad to see them!

Easy Gary, I know about the wagons. That's why I asked about what kind of wagons. Considering what we are talking about here(at least a century or more here), and how many wagons may still exist, this can be considered a very wide definition at this point. We may need a separate topic on buggies as well, because as we can see, Studebaker did not construct one particular type of horse drawn device.

Perhaps I wasn't too clear about what I was after. Wagons, buggies, whatever. [u]ANYTHING HORSE DRAWN.</u>
