Many Many Trips around the sun ago I saw an old Bag Boy Golf Bag Cart from the 50s in a Thrift Store. I stopped and looked at it and marveled at how many cast Alumium parts it had...23... So I bought it for $7.00 and took it home, disassembled it , cleaned it and put it back together. Whenever I play Golf I still use it.

It weighs a ton, but was made in an era when things were made to last forever. Maybe someone can chart the decline of American Mfg to when they started to build things to fall apart after X number of years.
