If you want a Jerald, be very sure that one that 'looks like one' IS one before buying. A gentleman I instructed(trained his horse, then him to drive her, several years back)bought a cart that, until closer inspection, 'looked like' a Jerald, from a back-east miniature vendor of all things miniature. It turned out to fall FAR short of Jerald quality; an 'open axle', it noticably SAGGED in the center under the weight of the buyer, who was about 'normal' in size for an adult male. Finish was poor all around, also. I considered it basically a piece of junk, yet its cost wasn't all that much under than of a Jerald. The 'real thing' is worth it!
