    Old stuff. What is this?

    My sister and I went up into the loft of an old grainery that's been there since 1912. We found something I had never seen. She's 20 years younger than me so she didn't either. She kept calling it a corn shucker. I just went with it because it could be for all I know.

    We found old beer cans,a vodka bottle and I think it was a whiskey bottle up there. I said man somebody liked to drink alcohol. She said "Well back in the old days what else did they have to do?"....Hmmm......didn't think about that.

        We found this up there. Some wooden box/crate deal. Said it was dry goods that was in it at one time. Found some burlap sacks and stuff so who knows?

          I don't know a lot of it was made from wood. The frame part I guess you'd call it. Then beside it was a bunch of wooden slats wired in a circle so I don't know if that was part of it or not.

            First pic looks a lot like the old grain mill we had when I was growing up. We attached it via a belt to our tractor pto somehow. And yes I seem to remember putting corn in it.

                How cool is that? I couldn't even guess how old it is. I love finding old stuff. I think it's cool. But obviously I couldn't tell you what a lot of it is besides the obvious. Bottles,jars and old cans.

                We found these wooden poles probably 12 foot long and 3/4" in diameter and threaded on the end. Some had a metal strip nailed onto the ends above the threaded part. I have no idea what those were either.

                    There it is. Couldn’t think of the name.
