This vintage cast iron horse-drawn ale wagon features a deep green covered cart, black spoked wheels, and raised gold-tone lettering that still proudly reads \"ALE.\" It's the kind of piece that looks right at home on a shelf next to stoneware crocks, railroad lanterns, or Grandpa's old bottle opener.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe horse has great posture and crisp casting lines, the wagon body shows excellent definition, and the wheels turn freely. While the original brewery name is no longer fully legible, the surviving ALE lettering gives it undeniable saloon-era charm.
