You may want to look through the records of the US Patent office. You may also want to look at period tool advertisements for different styles and sizes of wheelbarrows. Have you tried the Mercer Museum yet?

Gold Rush images are good for wheelbarrows too. Check them out. I think I might have a couple with good barrow examples in them. Otherwise check out the Online Archives of California. Type "Gold Rush Daguerreotype" into the search field for the images tab and you're sure to find something. It is an excellent resource.

Good Luck,
Andrew
