Those are reproduction carts, not original prototypes. Can you take a picture of the carts? Sounds like some of the 5200 reproduction carts we sold in our store for a while.

They really aren't worth any more than what we sold them for, which was $25 each. Original prototypes can be quite valuable because of their unique nature, but reproduction carts are not as collectible and can be produced indefinitely.
