This beautifully illustrated book showcases 62 of Collins’s meticulously researched and expertly crafted miniature wagons and sleighs—ranging from rugged working wagons to refined carriages like the Brougham, Concord coach, Albany sleigh, and Victoria.
Each model is presented with high-quality photographs, dimensions, and historical context, making this volume an invaluable visual archive for historians, restorers, and enthusiasts. Also included are highlights of Collins’s life, his detailed building plans, and a deeper look at the artistry behind his work—many of which have been displayed for decades at the Oregon Historical Society.
A must-have for anyone passionate about early transportation, miniature craftsmanship, or the American West.
