Old sleigh information?

Dear editor,
I'm wondering if any of your readers might be able to help.
The sleigh in the photo was purchased from Jim Burgess in Carbonear in 1936.
According to my Nanny (Garlie Parsons) it was handmade by Jim and she used it to push my Uncle Ralph and my dad, Eric from Freshwater to Victoria.
I am curious to know if anyone has any additional information about the Craftsman or other sleighs that exist.
If so, I'd really appreciate hearing from them.
