They are the seed canisters. The thing on right is a Deere horse drawn corn cultivator. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing on right is a Deere horse drawn corn cultivator. Very cool! One of my old bosses used to go to Quebec to buy old horse drawn sleighs and buggies to resell in NH. Just about all of them were sold to be used for display purposes. It was a pretty good racket. For an average sleigh he paid about $50 CDN (about $35 US at the time) and sold them for between $400 - $500. There was no duty bringing them back as they were all considered antiques. The guy was so cheap that he didn't include the shaft even though most came with the shaft. He charged an extra $50 if you wanted to get shafted, lol. Needless to say we had a warehouse basement full of unsold shafts because most people didn't need them for display. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He runs ads in the Mennonite news papers around here and buys up stuff from the local farmers. My sleigh came from him. He buys any that he finds. Good market for them. Also any old farm equipment, barn boards or furniture. Sap buckets are a good seller….lol 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who among you made some great snowmobiling memories on 1995 snowmobiles? What did you have, and where did you ride it? #sleddersthrowbackthursday 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
