This is my Studebaker water wagon that I am starting a restoration on , This wagon was once used on the Al G Barnes Circus . I will restore this to its circus days , I have been very fortunate to find this wagon which was thought to be lost forever. One of my biggest hurdles is finding a replacement wheel for the rear wheel in the second photo , someone has put a Sarven hub wheel on the wagon at some point in time which does not fit the axle it is supposed to have a Archibald type hub made by Studebaker . I am including a picture of the wagon when it was on Al G Barnes Circus .
Great Wagon!! My Hub has the #2 embossed on the inside part of the hub. Is that the size?? If it's the right one for your project it's yours. Just pay shipping!! It's heavy as you know!! The late Crawford Hoxie and his family would want it have another life!!

Are you going to have Percheron's pulling it??

That is a man powered fire pumper from England probably built around the 1870_1880s . I haven't been to Martin's auctions yet , I am sure I will sooner or later !
Martin's inside auctions had high end stuff$$$ We went there for the outside line auction's on Sunday!!! You never know what you can find!!! Got a Chattanooga horse drawn Plow in great cond. for ten bucks. was taking it out of trailer guy offered me $250. Took it right to his house.

Beautiful
great to see this project that you are on. Isn't it great the way fellow collectors help each other out on this website? I can't wait to see the restored wagon.
