I thought it would be fun to share two more items and hear what you think. I'll give you a couple helpful hints today and then I'll tell you what they are--and how they were used--on Friday! Happy guessing.

post hold digger and a back scratcher? or is that bottom one iron?
ReplyDeleteoops, missed the 3 feet tall in the top one. oh well. maybe a planter?
ReplyDeletePost hole digger or planter, and something for drawing perfect circles?
ReplyDeleteHaha, at first glance that top one looked like stilts to me, then I realized it's all one piece and not two separate pieces. Ummm...I have no good guesses...I am not mechanical at all, so I could look at something that is probably some kind of useful tool forever and still have no idea what its purpose is. :)
ReplyDeleteFun! The first item looks like an old-school post hole digger, while the second looks like something used to grab hay bales. (Dude, I just had to look up how to spell bale. City girl!)
ReplyDeleteLove the guesses! Melissa, I thought you'd get that first one for sure...being from Iowa and all...hint, hint, hint. :) Thanks for having some fun with me, ladies.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Donna on the second one. But that first one...I THINK....is used to dig like a roto-tiller would now a days. There should be a blade on the bottom...then you hook up a line between a horse and the handles and he pulls it and drags it across the field to dig the soil up to plant. Fun items!!
ReplyDeleteElements of torture?
ReplyDeleteNo clue.
Can't wait to see what they really are! :)
