Donald Duck

1941, Fisher Price and Disney pulltoy. So it needed four wheels to work, but I think it's a wheelbarrow. :-)

If it hasn't sold, and you want to bid, click it to see it where I found it.
I was not looking for wheelbarrows, but they're everywhere.

Lu's girl's toy wheelbarrow

I told her my friend collects pictures of wheelbarrows and Lu said, "She should have a picture of the girl *and* her wheelbarrow" So here they are!

Pikachu with a Lego wheelbarrow

Marina Popova didn't have a Pokemon Go image, so she created a Pokemon LE-Go portrait.

Block puzzle, Victorian

This had been on eBay, but sold. The image was still there, and that's all I wanted. I was looking for pictures of a child's Badger Farm Wagon because of the photo here: http://www.shorpy.com/node/20568?size=_original#caption but came across a child's whieelbarrow.

This is the wheelbarrow Alicia Gonzalez used for Learn Nothing Day art, and the same mold as the wheelbarrow LEGO Ned Flanders has (but his is green).

I saw this little tin antique wheel barrow and thought of you:

Toy stroller, WWII camp

Alicia Gonzalez wrote "Hi Sandra!
While looking for vintage pictures of girls playing with dolls, I saw this one."

It's from the photo archive website of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, and the caption says: "A young Jewish DP girl poses with a doll and toy stroller in the Feldafing displaced persons camp. Pictured is Reisele Kirkel."

It may be a toy stroller, but it has a lot in common with a wheelbarrow. If anyone happens to find a photo of this or a similar "stroller," or sees one somewhere, pleaes leave a note! With two front "feet," stands, it might have one wheel, or two, or perhaps even none.

The photo is a link. Other info: Feldafing, [Bavaria] Germany, 1946 - 1947

Postcard Lotte Herrlich, Young child with teddy bears in a wheelbarrow (no date)

I don't own it. It was for sale and someone pinned it on Pinterest. I like the shadows.

I found this, about the photographer:

Lotte Herrlich (1883–1956) was a German photographer. She is regarded as the most important female photographer of the German naturism. (wikipedia)

They also have a nice looking toy wheelbarrow:

Mobile Sandbox with Dinosaurs

Jo Isaac wrote, "I know you have a thing for wheelbarrows...this is how we used ours for a few years - mobile sand-box!" (in the Adelaide Hills)

I'm back to add a follow-up:

Funny—Kai saw the picture of the sand-barrow in your blog while I was looking at it, and asked if I could put the sand back in it! It's the first nice day of Spring, so I hosed it down (we'd been using it to haul firewood!) and patched up its holes, and put the sand back in. He played out there for hours—but he's so tall now, he has to stoop down to get in there!

Jo, in Australia

I asked, "Spring starts on the first of the month and not the equinox?"

Jo wrote, "Yes, it's very odd...after growing up in England, I can never get used to it."

Carboot, Taplow; didn't buy it

Snapped this little wheelbarrow from a puzzle at a carboot in Taplow. I would've liked to have owned it, but left the puzzle there.

Taplow is in "South Bucks" in Buckinghamshire, UK
