The many varieties of gorgeous forks that are no longer in production just about brings a tear to my eye. American Fork & Hoe made some of the best, and my favorite hay fork is one of their three-tine Flex Beam models.

You’re going to dig this!

In addition to having some VERY useful other information, of greatest use were actually the photos with a positive ID and description of a particular kind of double-sided rake (with the U-shaped tines) and a sort of beet knife that both pop up in antique groups from time to time with folks coming up with all sorts of silly ideas about what they were for. I've had the answers but no photographic reference I could easily pull up--until now! Thanks!

One of the coolest things to take note of is this Important message on the last page.

This is fantastic! What a great effort you made in photographing every page and uploading to Imgur. Thank you very much.

I hope you don't mind but I assembled them into a single pdf file to make it easier for others to download. This deserves to be shared!

Very great book, approve! I remember when I was still studying, I read it, it is very interesting, but I still had a book format, and not in electronic form. We just had tasks associated with this book, but my family did not have Internet, and there was nobody to ask for college application essay writing help, but then this book miraculously saved it, found it in the old market

What a wonderful resource ... Thank You so much for all the work getting from page to screen!

I wonder how many of those tools are still being made and available new these days?
