Unknown small car, you pump the steering wheel shaft to make it move. It also has a hand brake. If you have any information, I would greatly appreciate it. It is missing the front spoke wheels, 12" that fit a 7/16" shaft, and the seat. It's in my shop for restoration.

    That is really neat.... If it is an Irish Mail cart, what would bring it to the US? I bet it has a very interesting story behind it.. Thanks for sharing!

    They were mass produced in many forms, it's just a generic name based on the original design & use.

    One possibility of it's origin:
