VINTAGE LOG CARRIER Technically, it's not a peavey, I know that, but I didn't know any other name to use to get you to view the item. I'm not sure what the proper name is for the item. This obviously is a two man log hauler/carrier. The hook swivels 360 degrees. One man is positioned at each end. When it's raised, the hooks clamp into the log and gravity does the rest, the heavier the log, the deeper the hooks grab. This one would lift any size log that two men could lift. Totally open, the jaws are 18 inches wide. The handle is 47 inches long. This is a substantial piece of logging equipment and was not used by whimps. This item was used by real men. This carrier was used in the logging industry and has the wear marks to prove it. These carriers were widely used at the turn of the century but you don't see them around too often these days as collectors snag them up very quickly and they're generally only found in the upper midwest and the upper west coast. This one is very solid. The handle appears to be maple. Burnt into the handle is the name "F. ARNTZEN". I'm not sure if this was the maker of the handle or was the owner of the carrier that burnt it in to show ownership. I'm not sure if this handle is original. The handle and head show wear. But at the same time, they have a very nice patina to them. This one would look great hanging on the wall. Alternatively, if you were so inclined, you could put it back to use. I acquired this from a widow in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Her husband died 10 years ago at the age of 93 years old. She advised this peavey was used by him logging in the Upper Peninsula many years ago. If you're interested, keep an eye on my auctions as I will be selling other vintage logging items I acquired from her as well. Thanks for looking and if you have any questions, please contact me. Good luck bidding. __________________________________________ PAYMENT I accept the following payment methods: Paypal, Credit Card Payment via Paypal, Money Order/Cashier Check, Personal Check. I reserve the right to insure payment clears before the merchandise is shipped out. Other payment methods accepted upon approve. INSURANCE and SHIPPING I now require insurance on all items. T simply are too many problems with shipping and items being damaged. Sadly, insurance is no longer optional. Insurance will cover for damaged items and items that are lost. I will move heaven and earth to receive payment on any insurance claims. I believe if we're being forced to buy it, USPS is going to pay off on any claims. If the item arrives damaged KEEP THE BOX it arrived in. USPS will not refund any insurance until they inspect the box. If you get a damaged item, contact me immediately and I will initiate the insurance claim on this end and instruct you how to proceed. Remember KEEP THE BOX . Insurance rates are as follows: $0.01 - $50.00 = $1.35 $50.01 - $100.00 = $2.30 $100.01 - $200.00 = $3.35 Over $200 I will pay for the insurance. I will ship out items on Monday and Thursday mornings. If you require expedited shipment for a special occasion, contact me and I'll work with you. For the betterment of the environment, and so I don't have to charge packaging fees, I recycle shipping material. Generally, expect your item to arrive with clean recycled shipping materials. Rest assured, your item will arrive well packed. INTERNATIONAL BUYERS Contact me with questions regarding insurance and I'll advise of whether insurance is available in your country and the amount. On international shipments, if you chose to have the item shipped Economy Surface Parcel Post, plan on it taking up to 12 WEEKS to arrive even though the post office says it should arrive in 8 weeks or less. I strongly recommend Air Parcel Post as that will only take 4-10 DAYS. I realize the price generally is more, but Air is much faster and more reliable. Po... read more
