Followed me home today.
On the verge of being yard art but could be fixed. Most of the missing items are simple strap iron pieces.
I like the utilitarian style of old tools, function before form as it were.
Thank God for the old yellow truck. Of course I would probably haul home less junk if I had to use my car...Nah!
That's a great piece -- the function gives the form its own beauty! (I think I need a truck)
Wouldn't you love to know who used it and what they were sharpening back in the day.
I just aquired one the same. I have a broken name plate but I am missing a few other parts. The legs were rusted off at the bottom so I have no foot pedal assembly and only one rod.
On your picture, it shows a bar on the front (opposite the seat) that is not connected. Does that connect to the leg bolt of wheel assembly bolt?
I can't wait to rebuild mine and use it.
