Description: This is a Very Rare & Unique Find. Very RARE & Unique 18th - 19th c. Wood & Iron TANDEM (In Two Sections) ICE BLOCK TRANSPORT FROZEN LAKE SLEDCan be Pulled by Hand or Horse Drawn if desired. When was the last time you hauled your trusted sled out on a frozen Lake to get your blocks of ice? Look at the pictures to see how superior in design and functionality this Special Sled most likely was at the time it was fabricated. A true work of PURE CREATIVITY in Crafsmanship of the day. A ture ANTIQUE Primitive example of utility functionality of the period. In perfect functioning condition, this tandem sled is designed for adding on sections if need be. This one is in 2 sections (requires 2 sections per block of ice). I doubt that many of us have ever seen this type of sled before. I believe this to be from late 18th century to mid 19th century Measures approximately 51 inches in length (not including the handle), 20 inch (across) carriers, 10 inch Height. Handle: 43 Inches, but adds 34 inches to the sleds' overall length, Overall length including handle: 84 inches. Has Detachable Handle, and Iron Rings if you were to hook it up to your horse drawn carriage. They thought of everything back then. There is not a thing wrong with this... as in NO DAMAGE - NO BROKEN PARTS (in the metal or the wood). This is a find of such rarity, I expect the true collectors out ther of primitives such as these to jump all over this one. I'm not giving it away, for sure... but you out there that appreciate an opportunity to own such a rare piece of history... it's all up to you. Also, I am listing another extreme rarity in a separate listing.... Take a look at the last picture. It is a 18th or 19th century true and very unique Mechanically steerable Wood &Iron Snow Sled. Look for it in my other listings. Rest assured, this will be packed delicately with full protection. I know how to ship! Enjoy
