Item No. 1234

Hello from Hazard and Merry Christmas! 

Item No. 1233

Dennis Graham, of Greensburg, Pennsylvania, said Item No. 1233 sure looks like a wooden “pipe” from an antique pipe organ that he has in his “stuff” collection from a church in Greensburg. He has had this for more than 30 years, and it is almost 3 feet tall.

Wayne Swartz, Uniontown, Pennsylvania, said it looks like it is a handle for the brake on an old horse-drawn road wagon or early stagecoach.
John Parks, of Steubenville, Ohio, submitted the item. It has a date of 11-1-1927 on it.

 


 

Item No. 1234

Item No. 1234 comes from A.F. Fritz, of Valencia, Pennsylvania. He says no one knows what the item is. He knows it isn’t a hay fork. It is very sharp, so he thinks it may be for cutting ice, but he would like to know what others think.
