Dairy Milk Float for A. Bailey & Sons
Description
1-horse Dairy Milk Float for A. Bailey & Sons was built to accommodate 2 churns on a crossboard, includes dippers, milk can and lamps, shafts attached, 78" x 12′ x 64"H (with shafts) -Professionally restored > HISTORY: Many vehicles like these traveled the London streets making regular calls on customers. Making its appearance in the late 1890’s, it was an adaptation of a small farm vehicle which had a low platform and a crank axle and was used for general errands. A small seat was added for the driver whose weight counter-balanced the vehicle. The horse that pulls it wears a larger back pad on the harness, usually six inches in width, since the weight of the load is forward of the axle. *NOTE: BUYER TO ARRANGE PICKUP. This item MUST be removed from the premises by JUNE 27.
