Hi everyone! I found this at the farm that's given up so many buttons and amazing coins recently. I wanted to post this because:
- I cannot find any reference to "Surge Milker" on the Treasurenet website at all, so I wanted this to be out there for anyone who might find something like this in the future.
- I wanted to show that I'm finding more than coins and buttons at this farm. This, however, was found closer to the current house, which was built in the late 1800's and replaced the older house that was from the 1700's and was where the pumpkin patch is now.
Anyway, it appears from some research that this handle comes from the drain valve associated with a Surge Milker or its related equipment.
I love researching and learning about the history!

My handle:
The Surge Milker logo:
A similar valve with handle (though the one I found is brass or maybe copper, while this looks like steel?)
