Real men buy iron, or have a hernia.... one or the other.

[steif]

All you guys and your silver and glassware... real men get hernias while buying iron like this..
of course i'm kidding, I buy all the silver and good glass i can find, but these were a great deal and I got them yesterday, and already sold 4 of them for garden art kinda thing. the smallest is about 24 inches tall and the largest is about 48 inches tall, most were still on the axles. I take them apart and sell singles for about 40-50 bucks each.
i love old iron stuff...

My mother has one of those wheels in her flowerbeds up in Pennsylvania. I've never seen one in Florida but it looks nice along her white picket fence and it's painted black I think. Careful on those hernias my dad just double hernia surgery... He was not too pleasant.

If there's money in it I'll buy. I was invited to shop an old steam powered saw mill. Really cool place. The steam engine was on one end of the building with a system of wheels on axles powered by belts to move the logs & run the equipment. I picked up 3 of the wheels, some old pulleys & a steam whistle. The wife claimed the wheels for yard art.

I love just about all old iron, especially cast iron.

The smaller sets of wheels and axles used on wooden timber frames that carried old Hit and Miss engines around the early 1900's farm.

Now, go easy on lifting that heavy iron. I've heard, and personally experienced, that you're going hurt "something" if you lift heavy or odd shaped items above "Eye Level".....
