Me and my Dad have worked on these for a while and are pretty proud of the out come. What really means a lot to me about the antique wall is all the farm and antique equipment (well about 98% of it) came from my grandfather and his past. It is all a still a work in progress as we are extending the old wood siding along the wall to make room for more antiques. The wood siding came off a barn that recently fell at our farm.
here are some pictures. Would love to hear comments









And for all you Disney fans, here is another little hobby of our's that we enjoy. We are pretty big Disney fans and every time we go we pick up another little item.

Cool pictures....

 

I Like your coca-cola beer bottle opener,I happento have one like it. Also that traffic signal light is cool

 

yea, I work for the road crew at the county engineers and we had that laying up in the attic of the office. so i grabbed it and brought it home. We are wanting to get it working again and hang it up from the I-Beam. Oh and the i-bean is going to be covered with an old wooded beam from the barn too. so we still have more work to do on it.

 

Nice antiques. I enjoy messing with my antique tractors, 1938 Oliver 99, 1936 John Deer AR, and a 1919 Case 10-18. We need to preserve our history for the younger generations to learn about. Keep up the good work.

 

Eric, you have a wonderful keepsake in those old items to remember your grandfather. It makes me sad that my family never valued items from our ancestors. The pictures of old items used on the farm really were of interest to me. Thanks for sharing the vision.

 

I just noticed that bottle opener too... got one like it as well.... actually, ive got a lot of the things in that picture.... guess thats what happens when you collect antiques..... its a fun hobby

 

Cool pics. My Dad has a meat grinder like the one hanging on your wall, he still uses it occasionaly.

 

thanks everyone for the comments.

wanted to post a couple more items. these are churns. the glass one is a 1922 dazey churn

 

Well, never let teh BOSS see that stuff or she'll pester you forever to either sell it to her or find her stuff like it!
Look s good.............

 

Neat idea man, I have a bunch of stuff that was my grandpas that I have no clue what to do with, that's a pretty cool idea!! Disney stuff is cool, my son would love that!!

just to the left of your lantern in the second pic. is a old cattle horner.

works like a pipe cutter, lots of fun.

 

Hmm interesting, never knew that. I was told it was a hay prong, stuck it in loose hay and it spread out to pick up loose hay. Do you have any more info on the cattle horner? I would be interested in looking into that.

 

no, not that, the iron thing about 30" long with the small, oval end. to the left of the lantern.

 

Are we referring to this item?
