That is really ironic, I too am a bit fussy about wheelbarrows! I have found old era Jackson's or Jackmanco wheel barrows, M11 models, the tried and true folded pan, thick wood handles, old school ash I think, and the steel legs, frame and bracing is an A.I.S.C. shape, bent C-Channel not stamped metal. I think the current models in a folded pan are fine, but there is more to the old models, they were just built with quality. I have 2, both one owners, latest one I just got in town here with the original "Jackmanco" - Jackson Manufacturing Company labeled tire on it, I think its original. The man who owned it was the sellers father, deceased, seller said he built all the stone work of his house with it and though the pan or tray looks perfect from the outside, the inside is depressed around the wood handles under the tray floor, this man mixed some serious mortar or concrete with it, the hoe depression between the handles is incredible, most light weight homeowner ones would not stand a chance to this abuse, but these are a tried and true design, got
one for $30, then the other for $40, locally, both for firewood. I saw another, same era on CL but did not go after it, was priced the same, these old ones are well built and I think they both have their original tires, which are checked, but both were kept under cover. Not to brag but I really needed some good ones, and these are a favorite, I have one other to rebuild, I land all my split wood in them, and can stack from them to keep from bending down all the time, works great, have an authentic gardenway cart I can load with enough rounds to keep the splitter going, these are a back saver to me, couple of good finds, the old ones are a black or real dark blue that looks black now, one has the Jackmanco logo on it.

Keep an eye on CL for these old ones.
