Can someone give me some description, of what all was carried in this wagon. Thanks.

Jim, you and I must be the only people in Central Florida awake at this God Awful hour!

RBBB #9 general repair shop, preserved at the Ringling Museum, Sarasota, FL. It was Joe McKennon's pride and joy.

Buckles;
I'd say this is the nicest time of the day.
I do plenty of reminicesing, this time of day. Also, read and reread, the many, many Billboards, I have.

There's nothing like a man who takes ownership of his shop. My grandfather had an old telephone utility truck after he retired that he equiped with a welding shop, machine shop, carpentry and electrical AND a fishing & hunting camper that we would take unscheduled holidays in during the summer. My grandma would get mad at him for something or other and the next thing you knew we were off on a two week camping trip! ~frank

(This shop wagon brought back that memory in an instant!)

Is this when they were painted blue?
