| "The Sickle Blade Sharpener" This intricately geared piece of farmland history is for sharpening the sickle blade on an old horse drawn hay mower. In raised lettering, on top, it says, “McCormick-Deering” Chicago U.S.A Another “rescue”, this came from a junk pile in rural West Texas. It was completely disassembled, cleaned up and reassembled. I added new oak handles. It is completely functional, linseed oil is wiped on all metal & wood parts to maintain the antique luster, and the base mount is an aged piece of white oak. A grand display piece from a time in America’s history when equipment was made to last, this could sharpen a sickle blade today. It stands 21” in overall height and weighs 25 lbs. Price is $450 |
