Primitive Garden Forks
This style
of garden fork comes in all different sizes and styles. Each one is handmade
and unique in some way. These were all part of the collection hanging in the
store for over 30 years. Note the one on the right has steel tips to make
it stronger, or to hide repairs. Neat!!

Dibble
/ Planter
This antique dibble looks to be very primitive and blacksmith made, but
I have seen others.
I actually found one on the internet identified as a Civil War Era Trench
Tool or fighting tool for $495.00. Now he may be right, but something
tells me it is a dibble or planting tool, and I have it priced accordingly.

Corn
Planter
This not complete.
It is one of the rarest and most desirable of all corn planters that can be found.
What you see is all I have. What is here is complete and nice.
What you need is another one, and the cross bar. The idea being whoever was
wearing it could get 2 times the work done if he could keep track of what he was
doing and keep his balance as he walked down a row pulling levers and -------.

American
Corn Huskers by Jim Moffet
This book
was published in 1994 in one run and is now long out of print. It is
the authoritative work on the subject of corn huskers, their patents, and their
development by Jim Moffet. Who'd a thunk that there could be so many different
variations of such a simple tool. The book opens with a fascinating story
of a corn husking contest held on the farm back in the 1920's. It says over
20,000 people attended and that they served 50,000 or more hamburgers that day.
Can you imagine? It is a great book, very informative and has some great
patent illustrations.

4'
Brass Grain Test
These devices come in different lengths and I have seen 10'
models. This one has a maker tag on the top. They were used to check
the quality of a load in either a cart, rail car, or wagon when it was
brought to market.. Push it
through the grain to the bottom, turn the handle and the grain from that
level fills the rod so it can be inspected after withdrawing it.
Seems like some folks, weather it was the farmer, or the delivery guy
sometimes loads the wagon with different grades of material, and i bet they
were not putting the bad stuff on the top. I had
a friend take me to a modern grain distributin point where they were loading
over 100 cars headed to Texas to be processed. It was quite an
operation, and there were not any of these in evidence.

Fence
Stretcher
These devices come in
a myriad of different designs, all meant to make the homestead more secure, or at
least the fence more evenly stretched after something broke through, or you were
fencing in that last 40 acres. A step back in time.

10 Unusual
Machinery Oilers These go to prove the adage or
thought that you can see or find something new all the time. I have
never seen this style oiler before, and i have seen a lot of them. All
brass with a screw or Archimedean design to slow the flow I suppose. I
cleaned one up a bit. All are complete as shown with the internal
piece to control the flow. Different.
