SCARCE WERNER WAGON WORKS REPLICA 1846 CONCORD NINE PASSENGER STAGECOACH.Incredible reproduction stagecoach built by the Werner Wagon Works of Horton, Kansas using patterns from the orig Concord designs of 1846. This coach is in Wells Fargo style completely handcrafted using white oak, ash and yellow poplar. The body and door panels are all oak framed with panel inserts made with mortise & tenon joints (not plywood skinned). All the hardware is hand-forged in orig patterns, including door handles, steps, luggage rack on top and other metal fittings. Interior is configured for 9-passengers with a 3-person seat at the rear facing forward, another 3-person seat at the front facing to the rear and a fold-up 3-person middle seat. All the seats are covered in button & tufted black leather. The wheels are handmade with new wagon-style hubs with roller bearing inserts. The two front wheels are 46" in diameter and the two rear wheels 60" in diameter, all with 2" wide steel rims. The running gear is constructed of white oak with all hand-forged irons. The throughbraces are leather, 3" wide and 80' long on each side. These throughbraces are the wrapped leather on which the coach body rides to give it a comfortable motion. The luggage rack on top is hand-forged and of orig design. The front and rear boots are hand sewn leather and the brakes are mechanical rub blocks. The coach windows have adjustable black leather curtains and the fold-down passenger steps are hand-forged. The coach is painted in bright red with black pinstriping on the body and the wheels & running gear are bright yellow with pinstriping. The entire paint job has the base coat with a clear coat protective finish. The large panels in the door are painted with the image of a large western mansion as seen through a stone and log ranch gate with the inscription "THE MOTHERWELL". Above the doors on a black panel is inscribed "WESTERN STATES RANCHES". On each side of the drivers box, just above the front boot is painted a brand that appears to be "lazy W and running A".
