LARGE VINTAGE WOOD CONESTOGA COVERED WAGON 14"

Any idea how old this is and what the history is behind this? My mom passed and I acquired it. It is in great condition.

That is really cute.  Conestoga wagons were originally made where I live, in Lancaster County, PA, but I've never seen a small replica like that.  Very interesting.   :)

Very nice little replica but unless marked in some way it would be difficult to say how old it is !!  Have you checked for a makers mark or label ?? Could be Amish made !!

I remeasured the wagon. From end to end, including the yolk is 21" long. It is approx 10" high. No markings, almost looks handmade. I might check with our Amish community, tho, and see what they say. Thanks.
