I have a friend that wants me to sell this. He called it a Rock Sled but since I have heard it called a stone boat. Is it worth anything? Can anyone identify it? It measures 72 inches long and 29 inches wide. The casting in the front is heavy.

Well, I don't have an idea on price but would sure like the stone boat or just the casting. Let me know.

It's definitely a Stone Boat, below is a link with info. Only listing i could find, that was for sale was a all metal one for $300.00 and that was in 2006. Find someone who has horse pulls, and they should know what it is worth. They use them for horse pulling and also antique tractor pulls.

They were originally used to move stones from the farmers fields, as mentioned above, by horse or mule power. The pulls use came later. The Amish people still use them.
