This great resource has new information and great photos of it all, sleds, wagons, and related salesman's samples, U.S. patent models, and much more. Taking up where the author's first book, Flexible Flyer and Other Great Sleds for Collectors, left off, it has all new sleds and wagons and updated and expanded information about the major sled companies and their products with additional new companies. It is the first major study of children's wagons, often manufactured by the same companies that made sleds. Great examples of both of sleds and wagons are offered with detailed color photographs that will aid in identification. Catalogs, advertisements, old price lists, patent drawings, and other ephemera provide the historical context and aid in dating. Don't be left out in the cold!
