My favorite find this week!

Purina poultry feeding tube. The back has a chart that tells how many turkeys, ducks, or chickens the tube will feed. Well rusted piece! Love the red and white checkerboard on the tube. Galvanized feeding ring at bottom. There is no bottom as the feed must have poured directly out from bottom. This has an 8-1/2 inch diameter and stands 27 inches tall. I'm very tempted to keep this one as I love old chicken stuff so much! SOLD!

Pine mantel

Great pine mantel, not too heavy, makes a great display. This has a faux brick (made of wood) insert which is not attached, so if you don't want to use it, you don't have to. If you do want to use it, then it will screw into the back of the fireplace. Mantel measures 53-1/2 inches wide at widest part, by 11-1/2 inches front to back and stands 4 feet tall. SOLD!

Bee hive box lid

Last year, I had the whole bee hive box. This was all that remained of the other bee hive box. Wooden box with galvanized metal on bottom. This measures 22 by 18 by 3 inches tall.SOLD!

Planter, chicken feeder?

Not sure what this was used for, but could have been a planter or a chicken feeder. Seemed there were some slight chicken traces left behind! Took a picture of this from the front so the length could be seen and appreciated. It is just under 11 feet long! Five inches front to back and 4-1/2 inches tall at back which is the highest part. Has metal hanging hooks if you wanted to hang it.

Surveyor's measuring stick

Love the graphic appeal here! Ruler is made of wood and the round plate is metal. Used by surveyor's when surveying properties. The ruler stands 61 inches tall when closed, but telescopes up much higher. SOLD!

Great old barn door

Nice iron hinges and one sliding bolt. This would be perfect for a table top or other project! This measures 34 by 50 inches.

Adorable little log cabin

Not too old, but cute! Made of twigs. Measures 11-1/2 inches wide and stands 8 inches tall.

Primitive slicer

One of my Brimfield finds. Love the prim look of this one! I was told it came from Hungary, but no markings. This measures 18 inches long by 4-1/2 inches wide. SOLD!

Ten foot long rustic workbench

Here is the piece I had to take four other pieces out of the store to fit in. This is one massive workbench. The top is very thick slabs of lumber, and solid chunky legs too. Ten feet long by 29 inches wide and stands 33 inches to top of workbench with another 4 inches on back piece. I just love the way these display things in my store, very rustic and primitive look, plus it holds so much!

Chicken feeder on stand

I love, love, love this! We found it at Brimfield. My son had been telling me to haggle, though I do get deals in my own nice way. I never want to offend anyone! So, when I saw this, I thought I would give him a challenge. I gave him some cash and told him to go and get the best deal he could on it. He did very well and then he got rewarded by having to carry it around with us until we got back to the truck! A lesson learned! This is so cool. I have never seen one on legs before. We got a lot of inquiries about it as we were walking around. This is 47 by 21 inches and stands 28-1/2 inches tall. Galvanized feeder with wooden roosts for chicken and metal legs.

Boxes, boxes, boxes!

Largest box is divided with a small half shelf and finger jointed sides. Measures 13-3/4 by 19 inches and 10 inches tall. Rough cut smaller box has bark on outside! This one is 10 by 12 by 5 inches tall. Small box with wooden handle is 14-1/2 by 8 and is 3-1/2 inches tall. Larger crate has square nails and tin on bottom. That one is 14 by 14 and stands 9 inches tall. Small box with handle and box with tin bottom are SOLD! Large divided box with finger joints is SOLD!

Long handled dipper bucket

Galvanized dipper bucket has a wooden handle that extends 92 inches from the bucket.
