MINER'S WAGON
with or without Clock
Much of the Old West was
settled as mining camps and towns were built. Most
often a man, with his family, would put down his 'grub'
stakes' on a piece of land and register it with the
nearby mining claims office as his claim. Some
miners lived nearby in a town while the majority of them
lived in a portable shack on his claim. A mining
claim was not eligible for building a permanent
residence on it. The staking of the claim gave the
miner rights to the minerals on or under the claim.
One of the old stand-bys
during the mining days was the Miner's Wagon which
carried his tools to his mine and his ore back home with
him. The wagon usually doubled as the
transportation for him and his family.
This replica of the
Miner's Wagon is approximately 20" long, 6" tall and
7 1/2" wide. It features operating wheels,
brake lever and brakes, and a tongue and reach.
Attached to sides of the wagon is a water barrel.
I also features a ladder, wheel barrow, sifting screen,
two shovels, a pick, dynamite charger with operating
plunger, fifteen sticks of dynamite, ore carrier, two
bags, maul, shotgun, whip and leather pouch.
The Miner's Wagon can be
purchased with or without a Quartz clock movement.
Use the correct Add to Cart button below to make your
selection. The wagon with the clock movements has a 1 7/16" battery
operated Quartz movement which is mounted between the
seat and water barrel. The movement is easily
removed to adjust the time and replace the #377 button
battery. Battery is not included and can be
purchased at Wal-Mart or similar retail stores.

Note: The Miner's
Wagon is not currently a stock item. It will take
approximately a week to ten days for us to receive it
from our vendor. If you are purchasing it with a
quartz clock movement add another few days for us to
install the movement. For this reason we will wave
your $10.00 shipping charge to offset your inconvenience
for the short production delay on this item.
