?Cutter is a American term for light sleigh.?

This "cutter" was built in Canada around the turn of the century
Jos Ledoux was listed as a maker of sleighs in Canadian Province of Quebec around the 1900?s. This sleigh was bought from a farmer in Dakota, who had kept it in his barn for 75 years.
Was probably used for the family to go to town or to go to family dinners or special gatherings.

There is some storage space beneath this seat for a picnic basket or

When the rear seat is in the forward facing position
