Valuation of Horse Drawn Carriages

I have quite a few Horse Drawn Carriages for you to look at to compare them to your own. I often get people emailing me asking what the value of their buggy is worth and the best way to tell is to look at buggys that already have prices on them. Look at the ones on my website Vintage Restorations to see if they match what you have. I usually tell people that if it has the manufacturers plate still on it that adds about $800- $1000 to the value of the buggy because this information helps you to get more information from museums in the area where it was manufactured. For a small donation if you write to a museum and send them a picture of your buggy they may send you back a copy from the manufacturers catalog. This further documents the history of your buggy. If you don't have a manufactures plate then try to find a buggy that looks as much like yours as possible so in case someone asks it's value you have a comparable to show them.
Thanks for visiting my Buggy Restoration blog - Ann Menke You can also look below at horse drawn carriage and buggys for sale to see what other people are asking for theirs.
