This is a snapshot from the antique shop in Pequot Lakes Minnesota.
My Dad said that this would be called a visiting sleigh. He noted that there was a buffalo robe over the seat. Milk cans could also be hauled on this sleigh.
Thanks for stopping by.
Nice to know the details on this kind of sleigh. I wouldn't have ever known...nor known what a buffalo robe looks like if you hadn't told me. Thanks to your dad!
ReplyDeleteAll I need is a horse... and a sled about now!
ReplyDeleteThose horses in the photo look huge!
It took a LOT of effort to go visiting in those days, yet people today don't even visit their next door neighbors.
ReplyDeleteThe cold and snow didn't get those people down.
