<p>[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 58898, member: 44"]I forgot to mention the wagon. At one time this wagon would have been considered pretty good for a cotton wagon because it has a spring seat and a buckboard, board, attached to the front of the wagon. These boards were foot rests and protection from a kicking horse/mule. As to the seat, not because it's a spring seat for they were not that comfortable, but because it even had a seat. I remember the horse drawn cotton wagons taking cotton to the gins as taller with no seats. DH says most of the cotton wagons had the driver standing in the back of the wagon holding the reins or the drivers were perched/sitting on the front edge of the wagon. This wagon could be considered an all purpose farm wagon. These wagons were made from the latter 1/2 of the 1800s through the 1920s to probably the early 1950s.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is one at the Louisiana Cotton Museum dated pre1900. 2nd pic down.</p><p><a href="http://davidbonnerarchitect.com/db/State_Museum_Design.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://davidbonnerarchitect.com/db/State_Museum_Design.html" rel="nofollow">http://davidbonnerarchitect.com/db/State_Museum_Design.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Here is one made in the 1920s:</p><p><a href="http://www.farmcollector.com/equipment/vintage-wagon-manufacturers.aspx?SlideShow=1" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.farmcollector.com/equipment/vintage-wagon-manufacturers.aspx?SlideShow=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.farmcollector.com/equipment/vintage-wagon-manufacturers.aspx?SlideShow=1</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a dedicated cotton wagon that I remember seeing with no seat, 1938 Arkansas picture.
