USMC wooden handcart
Looking for pictures of this cart so I can restore it right. I've already checked the handcartz websight with no luck. Can anyone here help?

Re: USMC wooden handcart
Have you tried any mechanized museums yet? Maybe they would have some information on this little trailer. By any chance, is that a WWI hand cart? I don't know much about these little trailers but I know that I just purchased one a little bit bigger than yours that also is going to need to be researched for it's history. So, I'm in the same predicament as you are. Good luck in your search my friend.

Re: USMC wooden handcart
It's been almost a year since I first posted this cart. I still don't know any history about it, but at least it looks better now.

Re: USMC wooden handcart
After many hours of searching the 'net I believe that I finally found a photo of my cart. This photo was taken in China in 1932. That sure looks like my cart in the center of the landing boat. The 16 spoke wooden wheels, hollow ended hub, and the small yet important detail on the front panel of the cart where you can just make out a centrally located vertical strip of wood.

Re: USMC wooden handcart
This photo was sent to me today. Circa 1912-13. Looks like the same cart to me.
