Is it Boom Baby Time Or Bud Light Time?

Maybe both. Went back home yesterday to see my Dad,while there I ran by my late grandfathers house to see how time is working on the old place.It's amazing how fast a house begins to fall apart once it's not being used.Anyway while there I was looking around the property & remebered a old shead in a photo that I had & where it once stood.So I was looking around in that area when I saw the end of the pipe wrench (handle part) laying in some of the last few bit of the barn/shed.When I grabed it I had no idea the size,man the more I pulled the longer & bigger it got. What a man killer 4ft long 1 foot jaw width.Don't have a clue what he was doing with it. He done alot of gardening but hell I could flip the whole old tractor over useing this wrench. Anyway I've seen one of the crazy shows awhile back not sure which one now (pickers,diggers)but it made me think of this find.I think I can get it cleaned up & working again with a little time.Also found a pot or something that I had missed before doing my looking in the old barn that is still standing.Looks like a fancy flower pot.Heavy for it's size.Looks to have a little age it self.


Also posted a thread last night when we got back of the indian artifacts me & dad have found over the years instead of posting all the pics. again you can see here.......................

That flower pot looks interesting. Anytime I see something like that with that kind of detail worked into it I think it's either modern and expensive (because such craftsmanship usually is) or it's old (because craftsmanship was a matter of pride back then and such work was the norm).

I have no idea why - short of the petroleum industry - anyone would need a pipe wrench that large.
Was your grandfather related to John Bunyan?

Not sure,but he was in WW2,& was a man no doubt about it.Believed in hard work but in the same respect was as kind as they came.

American Diggers would probably ask at least 50,000 dollars for those relics

Nice. New that pipe wrench would cost $200 bucks.
Nice old pot too.

Agreed on a new one (pipe wrench) & I've already got it working again. The planter & is what I now think it is, would be late victorian art nouveau & would be something like this one here on ebay........................
