Wooden Pull-Along Farm Trolley ?65


Recommended Posts

Hand made by carpenter - a wooden pull along cart with draw bar and handle. ?65.


Totally unique, there is not another like it.


It was made by a carpenter for his grandchild, but owing to unfortunate circumstances was barely used and shows no sign of use such as knocks and dents. It is made of pine wood with a plywood load deck in the trolley. It is in its natural state - un-varnished, un-oiled and un-painted thus giving you the freedom to leave it as it is or treat it in some way. The wheels all turn and the cart steers. The wheels creak a little when the cart is pulled owing to the nature of the material - wood on wood. This is not a fault, it's a characteristic of the materials used.


It is very large. The photos with the bottle of wine (not included in sale !) give a quick indication of size. The measuring tape helps too.


The cart itself is 15 inches (38cm) high, 14 inches (36cm) wide and 24.5 inches (63cm) long. The draw bar is 26.6 inches (67cm) long giving an overall length of around 52 inches (132cm). The solid wood wheels are themselves 8 inches (20cm) in diameter and 1 and a quarter inches (3cm) thick. Owing to its raw state, there are one or two marks, particularly on the deck, which may look like a small water stain - I'm not sure. Gentle sanding should remove this, but it's barely noticeable.


I have plenty more photos available.


It is solid wood and pretty heavy. I can deliver locally SE22/SE23.

    • A pretty awful incident.  Thankfully from my time in London fairly rare.  There was a time, particularly in North London in the 00s when moped gangs would come up behind cyclists and grab their bags.  There were also scare stories about riders being pushed off at the top of the hill and the bike grabbed, or cyclists being pushed into a canal such as the Grand Union.  I think these were very exaggerated. In recent times, cyclists, in particularly women, have been mugged, on cycle routes when other riders are not around, such as Deptford/Millwall  https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cm27x5klxxlo But I expect that crimes involving threats/violence by criminals against cyclists are less likely than in other areas of life.  Mobile phone theft being one of the obvious examples.  I was told many years ago following a burglary that criminals would rather not have any contact with their victims, and bike theft would sound to be less risky to them by stealing locked up bikes (far too common) rather than attacking the rider.  The spate of thefts from builders vans in broad daylight knocks this a little on the head, as the criminals are often confronted. @Rockets as a regular cyclist in the past did you experience threats etc?  My worse experiences were being knocked off by dangerous drivers, once being left for dead in a hit and run, and road rage where drivers chased me or threatened me after they had passed to close, turned across me etc.  You learn from this and do your best to avoid such conflict.  
    • Whilst I am not sure if this is appropriate to this case, I know that often people from minority groups don't feel safe with the police and there have been many incidents where people from minority groups have been mistreated, beaten etc, just for being.   
    • It certainly was😁 Bob S
