Help! I have a pair of old carts that I am trying to find out what they are and what they would be worth. They were covered over in a fence row when we bought our farm house in PA. and they are taking up alot of room in my barn. I want to sell them but don't know what they are exactly. They are very heavy steel approx. 8 feet long with rubber coated wheels and rotted wood slats for the platform. I have a photo that I can email.
Thanks for your help.

Could also be industrial carts- used to move machine parts from one area to another during the production, machining processes. Typically had fixed wheels on each side in the middle, maybe 8 inch diameter, plus a smaller swivel wheel centered on each end, for support and turning. They are handy in farm shops, especially if shorter- make a good platform for engine work, storage, etc.

Nah. Is your farm an old dairy farm? I bet they are old feed carts to bring the feed/silage to the cows in barn. You unload the silo into the carts and bring the feed in during milking.

They are, as Rusty Farmall said, most likely freight wagons from a railroad depot. Most likely with a high floor, about as high as a semi-trailer floor. I guess they could've had more than one application though.

Possibly train station freight wagons?
