My favorite item in the auction!

I just love these old well loved, soft and faded quilts. This one is entirely hand pieced and stitched. Basket design and made for a four poster bed so the quilt can fit around the posts. left side is slightly frayed, but this is just beautiful for folding in a cupboard. The quilt measures 76 inches across and down the sides is 70 inches with another 13 inches in the footboard panel. SOLD!

Fantastic old wooden wheels and axle with springs.

If you have been in my store and seen the old display wagon that my husband for me built using barnboards and big wooden wheels, then you can see how this smaller set could be repurposed. These were part of an early stroller, made around the early 1900's. Wooden wheels in fabulous condition with steel band around the outer edge. The axle is ready to bolt onto your project. Spring can be used or removed. A great starting point for a fun build! The axle is 20 inches across and the wheel is 14 inches in diameter. SOLD!

Wonderful grain bin

This would make the perfect hideaway for dog food, recycling, boots, hats, mittens, what ever you want to stow away. Three compartments inside. This beauty measures five feet across, 17 inches front to back and stands 17 inches tall. My friends are very willing to negotiate the price on this! Let's make a deal. SOLD!

A collection of wooden shutters

I think with all the snow and ice, I just had to find something that reminded me of springtime. Three pairs and one single. These are longer on the left side and shorter on the right. The single one is a bit more chippy, rustic. They range in height from 56-52 inches and the single shutter is 48 inches. SOLD!

Goat collar

Old leather collar and bell would fit a goat or calf. SOLD!

Animal leading pole

Made by Sargent, an animal lead pole. This one stands 53 inches tall and would be hooked to a cow or bull to get them where you needed them to be!

Flax hatchel

These barbaric looking tools were used to clean burs and twigs from flax. This one has a great primitive look! 25 by 7 inches. SOLD!

Furniture dolly

These are very handy if you are constantly moving furniture. I keep a few in my garage usually with a cupboard or something on top. Then you have the ability to move it around to make room for something else. I have also used them to move a piece of furniture all the way from the garage to the door of the shop. This one is 31-1/4 inches by 24 inches. Nice and sturdy. SOLD!

Rustic box or drawer

This is cool! When I first saw it, I thought that was a square nail sticking out of the front, but it's an old piece of leather. This measures 17-1/2 by 13 and stands 4-1/2 inches tall

Some rusty tinware

One tin bucket, one small measure and a wonderful small sifter. Also an old laundry agitator!
