Old Rock Smoke House

Old Rock 'Smoke House'

I took my Grandson to a place that I had gotten permission to hunt, the rock building was evidently used for a 'smoke House' at one time, but now is full of junk & a few 'collectibles'.
The old barn had collapsed in a heap, & the well & water trough, & house foundation were all that were left beside the smoke house.
we found lots of 'rusty relic's, plus old mowing machine, & there were several 'collectibles' in the rock bldg, Ice box, push mower, oil can, etc...
Posted our digs on Relic's.
He stayed with me for a half hour, then started collecting 'worms', he said he wanted to find 'some Gold'.

Very nice love the pics! We have a push mower in the flower bed where it looks really great and a old wood ice box in the house it has our stereo on top and all the old 33 lps inside!

Thanks Evy, I may try to buy some of this stuff, the bottom 'rotted out' of the box, but it may be fixable.
that's a great idea for your old 'ice box'.

Jeffs parents gave it to us it was his grand dads! His mom had used it for the same thing I use it for! And even with the old mower being rusty it still looks great in the flower bed!

I like the ice box and the ol' wheeled contraption (what is it?). I used a mower like that many times as a kid; I won't even look at one without a motor anymore.

Great pics, Fossis. MG, I still call the refrigerator the ice box, cause that's what I always heard growing up. People have no clue what I'm talking about!

Fossis, Another great adventure with the Grandson! You should have told him they kept the gold in that oil can, black gold that is.

That is a 'horse drawn mowing machine', the seat is missing, & the sicle bar is lying on theground out of sight, but there was a complete set of a'double tree & two single trees' connected, (they were used to hook the chains on the horses harness to the 'implement being pulled'.
I have used the 'push mower' myself, much prefer the 'newer models'.

I know lots of 'older folks' who never changed to the word 'refrigerator'.

Re: Old Rock 'Smoke House'

I really like the Early American Colonial Toilet Seat in the 5th picture ...

Just kidding ... Actually I am quite jealous ...

I have been begging to go hunt some property with an old falling down barn I know of ... I keep getting the big NO ... Even though I assure them they are not responsible if I should get hurt ...

Nice Pictures & Thanks for sharing ...

Thanks Nick, it's a shame that the 'Treasures' will slowly rust & rot away, but some folks are that way.

Re: Old Rock 'Smoke House'

sir i forgot to mention that when hard times hit your state many okies came to the central valley in California to find a new start but were ridiculed by people who also had to start anew. I am whitness to many families from Oklahoma that brought a sound work ethic and a healthy fear of God.
