Yes Hedd I did, many years ago. As my son and I have finished the re-restoration of our Marshall agricultural the next project is the rebuilding of the pair of Wallis traction wagons we have.
I had a spring and towing eye from your dad for one wagon. We could do with another set for the other wagon.
The unsprung wagons were supplied as a pair to a landed estate in Sopley, Hants in December 1892 at a cost of £64.10.0 each.
In case anyone thinks that is cheap consider that a working man was lucky to earn £1.50 decimal per week so the price equates to 43 weeks wages. You can work that out from your own earnings!
