Well, perhaps not quite.
I think this is as elaborate a tiny wagon as I found for the era, someone took great pains replicating a work-a-day model for a child.
Began this as another thread on ' Homefront ', while war raged, children still grew up at home. We have a terrific family photo of the era, an ( however many great ) uncle as a small boy tooling around someone's garden in a goat cart. Have another somewhere, a dog cart, not utilitarian like some societies- pure play. SO funny, thought this diversion on the part of children would be great to explore.
Much post war, and an NYPL stereoview- another purpose built chaise, both hysterical and cute- never met a goat this cooperative.
Well, got a little sidetracked. Not all are era so please excuse. Between Ebay, Pinterest, Tumbler and NYPL exist a world those of us easily distracted should never, ever open. Drew the line with myself at a single page- some thankfully era.
Whatever began the phase it seems to have continued for quite a few decades.
This poor puppy is sporting a bit and a very determined looking driver
And then things got weird.
Someone had to say it.
Not sure this fellow is getting anywhere.
Yes, looked it up. They raced them. Gosh. Wierder.
No feed bag pulling this cart.
There better not be racing attached to this image.
Oh. my.
Oh. My. Heavens. Why yes, that is a lion. And those are indeed small children.
This is why I had to sit on my hands and refuse to browse any longer. That and the alligator.
