Sir, I'm really not an antique collector . However , one thing I always keep an eye out for are covered wagon parts. Especially the ribs for the canvas. Not common , but every so often ....

Covered wagon parts........wow,talk about historic! I wonder how long since nice anyone actually made covered wagons? mt They still Make them not all that many a year but there are still a few made every year or so, mostly for people that want something unique for their draft horses to pull in parades, reinactments ect, there’s also a demand for rebuilding old ones for the same reason Used to go by a place that had several just sitting out along the road on display

My family loves to go antique shopping. We rarely buy anything. Just love looking. I’m always looking for old traps and very rare stuff. Here is a 1902 crockpot. It has thick iron plates that had to be heated, and then plates and food where placed inside. I don’t think it worked very good
Everything the left touches it destroys

I wonder how long since nice anyone actually made covered wagons? mt I'm not sure how long since they made THE covered wagon parts , only that the ribs are more common than I would've thought. Meaning they're still pretty rare but you can find them. Oddest thing I ever saw was a child's viewing coffin in an antique store in OKC. Who in the world would buy something with such a sad purpose ?
