I hope you like pics!! Been cleaning out my grandfathers garage/barn and have found a few things of note. The civil war tow hook posted in Whats This is by far the most interesting but here are a few more random things that some folks might like to see or chime in on... barely scratching the surface here...

The plane and wrench look a little damp because right before I took pics I wiped the dust and spiderwebs off them with a damp rag. I dont plan to take them any further except on a few of the old planes, which I plan to restore and use, including the old sargent scraper plane. That monkey wrench will look great in my shop lol.

An old butchers scale....

Old crosscut saw handle, and I do have the match. Looks like an atkins no. 10.

A very old looking piece of artwork that was in the place when my grandparents bought it in the late 40s/early50s. No name that I can see, and I'm too scare to touch it much because it looks so old....

Power pole insulators, probably not too old, maybe 60s-70s?? I like it because it still has the bracket and wood....

It is just amazing what you have found there.I like looking at old items found in barns,
 

Man this is just too cool. I would sleep out there while I went through it. I love this kind of stuff myself, looking through the past.
 

Those are some very nice relic finds. Looking thru that barn must be like a kid in a candy shop !
 

Your finds remind me of my Grandpa's shop and homeplace in Louisiana. Thanks for sharing your finds.
 

I believe your painting might be by Charlotte Becker American | 1907 - 1984. I would defiantly take it and has it appraised.
 

That's some neat stuff! Reminds of some of the things I have found over the years that hang on my barn wood relic wall .. a wall dedicated to that type of stuff!

Thank you guys! I'm definitely going to have to look further into that picture, as well as a few other things. I could do this every day of my life. I have a feeling I'm not alone on that thought here :occasion14:
