This is a wooden row cart. It is old but it is hard to figure out how old. It may be a wooden cart someone built out of the parts of a row cart in shop class? Any
thoughts?

TallCakes,, Thank you so much. Your first link allowed me to find more info and several pictures of similar carts. considering it is between 60 and 70 years old, I think it is in pretty good shape. I had originally purchased it at GW (Goodwill) with the idea of putting it in the garden but a friend talked me out of it. I covered it in linseed oil to stabilize the wood and stored it instead. And now I know...
Irish mail cart/push car circa 1950. Made by Whitneyville Wagon Co. Alto, MI
you did a nice job restoring the wood and it appears that you have the original wheels, which is a plus as well...
How is this cart a "Mail" cart?
to quote Merriam-Webster
