Lansing Company 1800's Hand Truck Restoration Project ?

An early american hand truck, aahhh just what i was looking for ";) Oak & Cast Iron the bad ass hard core material of it's day..............and still :o)

It was in my friends  basement for about 10 to 15 years after being saved by the road side. And now it's mine. It will retire as a hand towel rack in my bathroom and moon light as a hand truck in the evenings :o)
I will start my research starting with the  Lansing Company as we can see from the tag that is still on it. 

 But first.......

I will take it apart mend the broken handle and wash the grease off before i decide to sand.......
