Hey, is that the Granby Oak?? Nice button and real cool about the strap hinges. They make a great display. Now all Dan and I have to do is get the iron restoration secrets from the Museum we are doing some hunting for. They look good when descaled and blackened!! Glad you took them home!! Looks like you had a rougher time digging than we did :yes:

[angellionel]

Now that is one solid chunk of frozen soil. :shocked01: It kept the button safe. lol Good find, and nice photos!

that is her! the one and only. yeah G i'd like to learn what those museum people do to iron relics.
Gary puts his in a old plastic cooler with the old zinc mason jar lids on bottom ,lays the relics on the lids and fills the cooler with lye and water i think and lets them soak.seems to work well with his iron relics

that is her! the one and only.


I used to live just down the road a bit, from there. We did a lot of cellar holes in that area a few years back.
