Vintage tools

Green shield stamos and sheep shears!

I used to stick the green shield stamps in the book for my dad! And we had co-op stamps too if I remember correctly. And how much was petrol back then?

Are they really sheep shears? For shearing sheep? Loving it!

Thanks everyone again! x

 

I have a number of old implements ... a couple of old picks (found buried and now with new handles and are excellent and useful) two old heavy 'hammers' used to hammer in fencing posts (two handed jobs) inherited from a local farmer, a two handed axe from the same source, a massively heavy crow bar thing which I think actually used to be a bar on an old wrought iron gate (great for making holes or removing boulders etc) and also some old wood working tools which used to belong to my late father and still in use
And I have just realised ... none of this is actually very interesting LOL

 

The Plough

Well got a couple of pix today
It appears to have been hard work back then

Looks like something you would tie onto the back of the wife to get the ploughing done
Oops ... could be in big 'trubbel' now
