Do you have a pic of the John Deere wagon?

Legible 176 year old paperwork found in a stone foundation sounds plausible? And who or what said he never banked?

The story has some gapping holes but who cares, if you can get on it swing away.

If the John Deere wagon is authentic it would be 1881 or later. Deere didn't produce wagons until then and only got into the business as a partnership with an existing wagon manufacturer in Iowa. Those command a premium on the serious collectors market. I saw a restored one sell at auction for almost 12K several years ago although I don't recall what year it was from. The year of manufacture could usually be found on the inside of one of the side boards if any of that is intact. There was also a standard accessory wheel wrench that came with them.

There is an Altoona in Iowa as well.
