Buckles,
Neat wagon, I have never seen it before. Thank you for posting. I am assuming someone walked with the ponies, and they weren't driven by a driver, as the poster depicts. Does anyone know what became of it?

Wade,
The drivers seat is between the front legs of the deer. It looks like a tractor seat. Notice the foot brake on the front of wagon. The float rotted away years ago.

Bob,
Thank you, I hadn't notice the "tractor type" seat. I did notice the foot brake, and couldn't imagine someone straddling that and waiting for it to stop their forward movement. :) Shame there wasn't a fan around to take the wagon home with them, instead of letting it rot into dust.
