The Schoenhut
Milk and Bread Wagons

The A. Schoenhut Company produced at least 13 wagons pulled by a single horse, and painted in the colors of various milk and bread companies.

(I need more photos of these wagons)

The Fine Bread wagon's white horse. All wagon horses we have seen look left and have a ribbon on each cheek. We think that the horses were made in Germany for Schoenhut.

All wagons came with a load - bead loaves in bread wagons and milk bottles in milk wagons. They also came with a driver.
