Vehicle description
Antique Studebaker Junior Wagon in excellent shape - from a local collector - fresh from long term storage. Original and authentic. Shows usual wear from play through the 100+ years. Looks like the seat has a glued crack on the one side and paint is almost completely worn off in spots but overall presents well. Pull handle unusually fine original.
Vintage car enthusiasts are likely familiar with Studebaker automobiles; they were manufactured form 1902 to1966. Studebaker began as a blacksmith shop in Indiana in 1852, and when the Civil War broke out the Studebaker brothers became a major vendor of supply wagons to the Union Army. Studebaker continued to make wagons and carriages until the early 20th century, when the company began to produce automobiles. Studebaker Junior Wagons were promotional items; they were carried by retail Studebaker dealerships. Originally intended to promote Studebaker farm wagons, the Junior became so popular that it continued to be sold at Studebaker car dealerships even after Studebaker stopped making farm wagons. The wagons were built for children, and were usually pulled by a goat, large dog, big brother or Dad. The first Studebaker Junior wagons were built by Studebaker, but the wagons were in such demand that production was taken over by Indiana’s South Bend Toy Company. With increased production, distribution became nationwide when the wagons were offered through the Sears, Roebuck catalog and toy retailers. The wagon typically sold for $9 to $12. Early ads for the product featured President Teddy Roosevelt’s son Quentin. Sale prices of genuine Studebaker Juniors vary widely: a $6,900 sale by Mapes Auction , and a $3,335 sale by Cowan’s Auction pre-date the 2008 drop in antiques values.
