Don't know how old this post is. Just came back from an old seed store, downtown Louisville, Bunton Seed Co. and remarked on beautiful old pushcart being used to load my compost. The self-described "antique" guy said it was a Jakes cart circa 1890 and that I should google it when I got home. You're the only thing I've found! What have you learned elsewhere?
Hi Pamela,
We haven't been able to find anything else out, as well. Keep us updated if you have any luck.
Thanks!

I just bought an old wooden dolly this weekend marked Jake's Nashville, TN at Dublin fleamarket. Did you ever find anything out about this company?
In regard to your question(s) about Jakes Trucks, despite these carts having, “Jakes trucks” stenciled on the side they were actually made by a company called Jakes Foundry. Located in downtown Nashville, TN; Jakes Foundry operated an iron and brass foundry in the early 1900’s and manufactured all kinds of iron castings for house work, house columns, etc. as well as various industrial hand trucks, freight dollies, etc.
