Keg
- Beer Wagon, circa 1900 - During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, horse-drawn beer wagons were familiar sights in American cities. Bars and saloons were numerous and provided places for working-class patrons to relax and socialize. This wagon's racks held beer kegs in an inward, sloping position so they wouldn't roll. The top rail supported a cover that shielded kegs from the hot sun.
