Authentic Jakes Foundry Industrial Cart

Product details

Seller's Notes:This is the real deal — an original factory cart made by Jakes Foundry, located at Church St & 13th Ave in downtown Nashville, TN. Operating in the early 1900s (a company catalog dated 1910 still exists!), Jakes Foundry ran an iron and brass foundry that produced industrial hand trucks, freight dollies, and iron castings for factories and railroads across the region. These carts were workhorses — built to haul heavy goods through factories and railroad stations, and built to last a lifetime. The iconic embossed "Jakes" logo is still clearly branded into the wood — a rare and authentic touch that sets these apart from reproductions. Authentic examples like this are documented collector's items, with antique dealers listing them between $1,000–$1,500. Now fully restored and ready for your living room: - Wood planked top — sanded, stained & clear coated - Original cast iron wheels — cleaned, painted & greased - All original wood and hardware - 13" high | 24" wide | 54" long - Perfect low-profile coffee table height This isn't furniture you buy at a store — it's over 100 years of history you can put your feet up on. One of a kind.
