This possibly authentic ice wagon is parked in front of a home along Warm Springs Avenue. I really don't know if there ever was a "Boise Ice Co." but the history of Warm Springs Avenue is well-documented. Some tidbits here. I had a post a couple of days ago mentioning geothermal water, and this road is named after the natural hot springs found near here. The first home that tapped into the geothermal line is on this street. Many of the houses are historic, and huge, even by today's standards. I'll also count this as a wagon wheel entry in my "I spy" wagon wheel game. See my collection links on the right-hand side.

It sure looks authentic. I remember ice wagons going round and delivering ice but most were in Model T trucks with the same kind of sign.
ReplyDeleteI like the cart.
ReplyDeleteAntiques are precious.
We need one of these carts around here right now. Its neat looking.
ReplyDeleteIt's charming and I can understand why someone would like it decorating their front yard. I really like antique ordinary, day-to-day things.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous vehicle. And I do hope the cat finds a good home. Great looking cat - a real character.
ReplyDeleteHi Jill - yes, I hope the kitty finds a home before it gets cold. I can't keep him. I have two indoors-only kitties already. And this boy is pestering the birds I invite to my yard. His only fault :)
ReplyDeleteI've never see one of these before so I have no ide if it's authentic or not. No matter, actually. It's still col!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great buggy. I'll bet the people in the house could tell you if it's authentic.
