Price reduced: 1944 John Wood M3A4 M1917A1 M.G. cart
We’re in the process of relocating and I need to reduce my collection so I don’t have the hassle of moving these handcarts. I’ve reduced the price as shown. My next step will be to break down the exhibits and sell off the pieces individually. Thanks once again for looking.
Cart #3: 1944 John Wood M3A4, s/n 31626 (configured as M4A1 machine gun cart)
I am now retired and it’s time to divest the inventories of some of my hobbies. To that end I am selling my collection of WWII handcarts, all of which I restored.
All carts/trailer have been restored to like new condition (disassembled, repaired, sand blasted, and repainted). All components are original GI issue unless otherwise noted. Tires are original issue (except as noted) in good condition with some cracking due to age. All carts/trailer still have original id plates attached. Please see the attached images and feel free to contact me with any questions or request for additional information.
I can provide additional images if needed.

Is the 1917 cradle original or reproduction?

Let me edit my previous statement: "The cradle and tripod are originals."
The tripod is original WWII and is dated 1942. The cradle has no date on it that I can ascertain. It is the real thing, not something home made, but I have no way to confirm its actual date of manufacture.
Regards,
Jim
