This is a very very old wagon. Made by the Buerkens Wagon Co. of Pella, IA. Made between 1865 and the early 1900s. Because of some designs not seen in later day wagons, I believe this wagon was mfg. in the 1800s. This old wagon still has alot of paint and pin striping and we felt the original codition needed to be preserved. It was very dirty and we cleaned it with special cleaner and then put a special protective coating on it that brought out the original colors. We made minor repairs and had to put a new tongue on it as the original was broken.
