Another neat one. Think from around the 40's or 50's. Still the most solid, sharpest set of hedge teimmers i have! Doo-Klip, Lewis Engineering & Mfg Co. Alliance ohio

I could not find it either. Even knowing you started it did not help.

I did? CRS *****....

I'll look under my threads.

Well, I just went through all of the threads I've started and it wasn't there....

Thought it was you, but I’ve been wrong before. I know you added to it, but adding Pick or Rake didn’t bring it up.

****, I sure as hell don't know what I did last month. One reason I take so many pictures is that they have dates on 'em--then I know when something happened.

^ You started a thread and posted a pair of loppers made by a company that was located next to the railroad tracks. In Iowa, I believe.
Can't think of who at the moment, though.

my mistake... it was Ohio, not Iowa, and it's in the "shears secateurs" thread here ... so I don't know where the "other" thread is.

Thanks!

Yard / Gardening Tools thread

I wouldn't have found that thread. I have my hands full just keeping an eye on vintage forum and rarely if ever venture to the general tools or anything else.

^ It is a recurrent issue here. There's a reason a few of us are so reluctant to start new threads. Trying to find a thread can be next to impossible.

Kind of a yard tool.
Amongst all the other extraneous stuff hanging on the walls of my shop office is a scythe. A new old stock one at that.

I've used one to mow a field--once. Never again.

But I did learn to sharpen it correctly, including peening the edge of the blade.
