- Description:
- This vehicle was made in Lebanon, NH about 1906. While it was not constructed by Abbot Downing, the undercarriage and detailing is similar to their work. Win Ripley, an artist for Abbot Downing, retired to Henniker, New Hampshire in the 1940s and he may have done the original painting on this wagon.
Dr. Andrews was from Thomaston, Maine and was one of four people to incorporate and manufacture veterinary medicine in 1902. The group put up a total of $150,000 to begin production of these �cures.�
The present owners found the wagon at an auction in Amherst, Massachusetts. Prior to that it had been used as decoration at the Yankee Peddlar Restaurant and Motel in West Springfield, Massachusetts. Despite being subjected to the weather it remained in remarkably good condition. - Subjects:
