Ifyou can't afford a carriage, try a wagon

The value of the wagons and sleighs is from $1,000 to $10,000 per item and many of them are antiques. The collection includes sleighs, surrey with the fringe on top, a hand pulled fire wagon, and a photographic wagon of a contemporary of Angel Adams. Owned previously by C.E. Watkins, much of his photographic equipment was destroyed in the 1906 earthquake and he never took another photo. Fred Jensen wants to sell the various items because he said they need to be used to keep them functioning.
