Ralph brought this one to lunch today (12/14/10), for me to photograph and post here. He told me he built the model from a photograph of his grandfather's wagon. The graphics, including the text on the wagon's signs, were copied from the photograph, then made by his grandson "using a computer."

Ralph built the wheel rims in segments. Each wheel has 14 spokes, all hand cut. Did you notice the hand rail?
