Charlie V - Good to know I not on here by myself. Most of the local summer shows are over here in North Carolina. I 'm looking forward to traveling to Portland in August. Then I will make about 3 shows in the Fall. Thanks Merton

I went to the Southeast Threshers Reunion in Denton NC. This is a very large show in North Carolina. It is always held over the 4th of July every year.

Here's my IHC Tom Thumb I purchased at Portland Aug 08. Just finished this spring. First time out at our 09 Show. Anybody notice how quiet it has been?

I wanted to share another picture of one of my displays from last weekend. This is my display of Whistles that I run off Compressed Air. They are a big hit also with young and old. George this event is my "home" show and I try to supply as many displays as I can to support it. Charlie V yes some times the pedal tractors bring big $$$$$. The pedal tractors are neat. My old pedal tractor is safe at home and it's green and looks odd with all this red paint around it.

Here's another shot from our local show with my display of Honda Mini Trails. They're vintage now too. The oldest one is over 40 years. Also they're red too.

Charlie V  - Strange of you to bring up the subject of Hammers. I have been collecting hammers for years too! I have never taken time to place all my hammers on display to photograph. Maybe that is something that needs to happen.
Second thing I do not collect "Monkey Wrenches" but I 've got a good start on "Adjustable Wrenches" that will be of some size soon.

O.K. Merton....Where do I mount that on my Harley??
Just kidding.
 I know they prevent the swine flu..
Just kidding again.
They actually stop rusty pigs from squealing, right.
Still just kidding. ( GRIN )
It seems I cannot form a serious thought tonight.

How were these actually used?  I seriously do not know.

Charlie V.


Thanks for the laughs Charlie. You think I would have a set definition of how they were used by now.The oilers were used on hogs to control and prevent insects on the skin of hogs. The farmer would add oil or other mixture to the holding tank of the oiler and the hog would rub against the oiler and the oil would come from the tank and run down the vertical panels of the pictured oiler and make contact with the hog's skin.
When I display at shows nobody knows what they are. They always start a discussion and draw a small crowd. I like them for their low upkeep and the questions they start.
