Carriage Tour

In England, the "Gooch Wagon" was made exclusively by Mills & Sons. It is they who gave the carriage its name. Several manufacturers in America made vehicles of similar design and applied the name freely. The builder of this particular Gooch Wagon is unknown. It was probably manufactured early in the 20th century. Henry Hooker & Company, of New Haven, made a carriage similar in design to this one, but called it a Hiko Spider -- probably because of its delicate nature. Notice that there are 3 springs on the under-carriage.
