We've been looking for an industrial cart for awhile to use on our screened-in back porch as a coffee table. But, we knew that we would NOT be paying $1200.00 for one like we saw a couple of weeks ago at an antique mall in Colorado Springs.
I was excited when Bob came home from a local yard sale with this one -- it's not as fancy as the $1200.00 one; but still a pretty neat specimen. AND, IT ONLY COST $20.00 - YES, TWENTY DOLLARS!
It has big, heavy industrial wheels and was manufactured by the Nutting Truck and Caster Company in Faribault, Minnesota.
It also has the two brackets for placement of poles for guidance.
There is evidence of both blue and green paint from sometime in its past. The yard sale person thought that it had been used in a creamery.
It's now retired and its only job is to hold my begonias and to satisfy my urge for some industrial chic. Love it!!

Now that is a steal for $20.00. Love it!
Great score! My husband and I have been in ka-hoots making one. ;) They ARE too expensive.
What a fabulous find. The patina is amazing. I love it.
I could use one of those to haul lots of stuff in the garden. I'm finding that some things seem to be bigger and heavier this summer! That looks so cool for a table, though.♥♫
Wow Sally what a great find!!! Isn't it fantantic that our hubbies are always on the lookout for things we want! Bill is always bring things home- latest was a tub for my bee's to get water from out at the land.
I'm up to busy still!- Finally planted my 25 lavender plants yesterday at the land- Bill went out to fill the water tank later in the day and the bull snake I had taken out there last year was cooling himself off in one of the plant wells! Glad to know he is still there and keeping those nasty rattlesnakes away!
Work at the Antique Store tomorrow then this weekend is Rodeo Bible Camp - I help with the cooking and Bill is a team leader. Seems like there is always lots going on ! Oh! An exciting thing happening is that I started a Bible Study with 2 other ladies- God is already doing some awesome things in all our lives through this!Yippee Jesus!!

Well done on finding such a great score for $20.00. You may be the source of a lot of green-eyed jealousy over such a find.
That is an Awesome cart! Don't you love it when you find something you have been wanting AND at a great price?
That is one amazing price. I am so jealous!
I have been wanting one of those for a long time but like you am not willing to pay the big bucks. Can't believe you got that for $20, what luck! It's gorgeous.
Yay! Oh, this is a great piece, Sally! I don't think I've ever seen a little one like this! Now I'm in total love with your gorgeous copper pot! The entire area looks wonderful.
Yep, that's truly a Note Song! :)
