- Description:
- Ervin P. Edmunds Sleigh, circa 1929 is a wonderful example of a utilitarian conveyance once used by all those engaged in commerce in the early years in all New England villages. This sleigh was used to deliver groceries to customers of "Ervin P. Edmunds Dry Goods and Groceries"The sleigh has two "bobs" or sets of runners that operate independently, make it especially easy to maneuver on snowy icy winter roads.
The sleigh was probably last used in business between 1928 - 1944. The fine lettering on the sides of the sleigh tells all one needed to know about the nature of Mr. Edmunds' business and of his integrity of the merchant. "Ervin P. Edmunds - Dry Goods and Groceries"
