Antique Hand Forged Iron Threshing Machine Tool Amish We went treasure hunting recently at the “world’s longest yard sale” which is the Route 127 yard sale running from Florida, to now I’m told, all the way up to Michigan. We shopped all down the state of Ohio, and then swung north for a stop at Shipshewana Indiana and some of my favorite spots t You won’t believe some of the finds from this year’s treck! I have some incredible, very old, early 1800s primitives, old signs, rugs, iron, tinware, oil cans, wireware, crockery, lighting fixtures, and even some (of course) what sits, AND, that’s just the tip of the iceberg! I brought my notebook with me, and took wrote down the “story” of the items whenever I could get its history. I’ll be listing these items for a long time, so be sure to check and check and check! This one is so tall, and so thin, I'm sorry it's hard to see in my photos! I purchased this one from the retired farmer outside of Celina Ohio. He told me that he'd actually purchased it at an Ohio Amish auction, though. What I have is an antique, hand forged iron tool that is used when operating a threshing machine. The farmer told me that that the large hook is used to pull shocks of grain off of the wagon into the threshing machine. This amazing tool is still quite sharp so care needs to be taken when handling. It's a large tool, and I tried to show you that by having my son stand holding it. It measures 47 3/4" tall and is 10" wide at the hook end. Excellent solid and sturdy condition. T's a light layer of surface rust all over, but it is minor. This one would make a fantastic display piece on a wall - and definitely something to talk about! Please ask if you have any questions, or feel free to inform me if you have any information about one of my listings. As with any of my items, if you ever need extra pictures, let me know, just make sure that you give me an email address to send them to. Pick up is welcome on all of my items. I’m happy to combine shipments for you. Also, many of my items come from local rural estate sales and auctions. They are coming right from the barn or attic to you! I do not take the time to clean and polish before I sell - they are in the condition found, as you see in my photos - and I do my best to photo and describe thoroughly. Please do not let Ebay’s new policy of requiring electronic payments keep you from bidding. Email me if this is not possible for you and we can discuss alternatives. I have had some trouble with the Ebay shipping calculator giving people bombastic shipping rates (especially after purchase with the Ebay “Pay Now“ invoice on Parcel Post rates). I charge shipping cost, so if you think it’s too high, email me so that I can check it out, before you pay me. That being said, we pack very well, so that will add to the weight. I ship within two business days of receipt of your payment, or I will notify you otherwise. With postage rates going up and up, I am shipping more items Parcel Post. Please realize that this can mean a 2-3 week delivery, sometimes longer. As a matter of fact, this year, I’m finding the “longer” more the norm. Parcel Post travels by land or rail and, at least in this area, packages do not leave the regional post office until they fill up a bin going in the same direction (so t’s no estimated exact number of days like you have with Priority Mail - the Post Office says 5-7 days, but that‘s not what I’m finding). I mail right away so it can get to you as soon as possible. With the exception of the most heavy and/or large items, I will always give both Priority Mail and Parcel Post as shipping options, with Priority being first for my lighter items. Be sure you check out both rates . I will be happy to ship an item in a flat rate Priority mail box, if that is cheaper to you - as long as the item will fit well packed in the box - ask me before you bid if you think that’s the case for you. INTERNATIONAL AND NON-MAINLAND USA: Shipping costs are available to mainland U.S. only. If outside, plea... read more
