Miscellaneous - Model of a Civil War Supply Wagon

On August 31, 2006 this model was brought to the Archives from the Capen/Riverside School House. It was made by Frederick Reid who also made the masonic plaque for Henry H. Snyder (which see). According to Bee Smith he was very clever with his wood working and very proud of it. This painted metal model is not on a wooden base and seems to be less well designed (possibly an unaltered kit?) than MOD02 and MOD01. However it is most likely a good example of a supply wagon that would have been horse drawn. This box is on the basement shelves.
