Found at the Shelburne Museum, this wheel was used to flatten down the snow for sleighs - of a time once upon, when the horses would pull sleighs in the winter and wagons in the seasons without snow. I had never thought about the need for such a wheel, but it surely makes sense to me. Horses would pull it down the roadways.
2 shared some appreciation:
You learn something new every day! I just thought they pulled through the virgin snow! :)
:) That's what I thought, too, Tiffany
