    Hello - I have exhausted all my "Googling" efforts and am unable to determine year of manufacture, value, etc. for my Speedboy Coaster wagon. It is all intact, with a nice patina and in real good shape overall. The mid support carriage bolt has been replaced but do not feel this distracts from the actual value in a significant manner. I have attached two pictures for assisting with determining what info can be obtained and anything anyone can provide will be greatly appreciated. I really just want to know if I have something special or not, thank you.

    Mine was made of wood, so probably not a Speedboy.

    MOS-Did your wood wagon have wooden spoke wheels or metal ? The earlier ones of course look like 'buckboards' or freight wagons.Some 19th century models were pin-striped & hand stenciled or lettered,Folk Art really.

    As I recall, metal, but that was a long time ago. Mid '50s.
