Dionne Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Hi, My dad passed away in November and we are trying to value the items he owned and collected. Pictured is what I think he deemed as a coal wagon. I figured I’d ask to see if any could identify. It stands 36 inches in height and is 2 ft 9 inches by 3 ft 7 inches. As pictures show it has its share of rust. Thanks in advance for your reply. Dionne Use’ Blanchard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reeltree Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Does it have a pivit to be able to dump out it's contents ? Looks in fairly rough condition. Only real value would be if you could document it's use during the Belchers Gultch? gold rush or a similar notable location or usage.

Dionne Posted August 12, 2018 Author Share Posted August 12, 2018 Yes it is in rough condition.... and I don't think it dumps from the side. I know it rolls and it sits on 3 wheels. We are in southeast Louisiana so I tend to think he picked it up around here.... but since he is gone, I have no clue. Thank you so much for your thoughts.

Dionne Posted August 13, 2018 Author Share Posted August 13, 2018 No I have not ...most of his friends were not collecting items as he was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 But they may know about things available way back when. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
