& - Century old farm wagon completely restored A pre-1900. farm wagon, completely restored to its original condition including the fancy, decorative art- o'work could go on display at Blackstock Fair later this. month if a team of horses can be found, and if the owner can arrange to trans- port the wagon from v Fenelon Falls to this area. & The wagon, owned by Ian Angus of the Fenelon Falls area was featured in a fair in that community over the weekend. / The restoration was com- x. pleted last week by Brian Jordan of Blackstock who spent more than three weeks working on the old wagon which is made of pine, and was probably used to haul rocks, gravel or crops. The three- foot wide "box is adjustable up to a length of about 12 feet. To get the wagon into as near original condition as possible, Mr. Jordan first made a pencil sketch of the decorative art-work which was still faintly visible on ¥ the sides and back, After completing the sketch, the old paint was stripped, the pine boards sanded by hand, and then new coats of paint were applied. The -pWagon is now predominant- ly black with bright red trim on the axles and wheels. Working from his pencil BAHA'I INFORMATION Phone 576-2871 sketch, Mr, Jordan replaced the art-work in a bright gold colour. 'And on the back is the 'name of the wagon- maker, Sandford and Pully of Fenelon Falls, in bright gold letters. The name was faintly visible before the res- toration started. It is from the wagon makers' name that its app- roximate age has been established. Long-time resi- dents of Fenelon Falls believe that Sandford and Pully went out of business about the turn of the century. The wagon was found last fall by Mr. Angus in Elmira, Ontario, at a Mennonite Carriage Works. - It is entirely original except for a new tongue, which was hand made by a blacksmith in Fenelon Falls, and a new pine seat. The old one was still on the wagon, was rott- ing, making it dangerous for anyone sitting on it. The wooden-spoked wheels have iron rims. The sides and back are decorat- ed with art-work. And the orginal craftsmen must have had a flair for design as even the axles were decorated with gold paint. The original iron springs of the seat remain on the wagon. 'Mr. Jordan is hopeful that the arrangements to bring the wagon to the Blackstock Fair can be made. It would certainly bring back memories for many old- timers in this area who can recall when wagons such as these did their share of work around the farms.
