It followed me home thread
Gimlis Ghost:
Not a yard sale find but I did get a pretty good deal on this on Ebay. Last one they had and a hair shop worn so I got it at a discount.
I'd not been expecting much at such a low price but was pleasantly surprised at the thick good quality leather and fine stitching. Good design as well.
I added a shoulder strap so I can wear it diagonal across the back. The belt strap allows separating two bundles of arrows according to heads.
PS
Almost forgot. I made a dead center bullseye today, first time in so long I can't remember the last time.

We went to a flea market at a huge muzzle loader shoot today. My new bride found some stuff to decorate the house. She loves old stuff. The wide mouth crock was her favorite treasure of the day. I found some axes and a violin in a cool old case that looks like a coffin. I'm giving it to my dad for fathers day. He can play them.
bjrogg:
Thanks for sharing your finds Clint.
One of the things I have missed the most is the cool stuff you always seem to have following you home.
Wow now you and your new bride are hitting the sales. This should really step up the followed me home thread. I’m really liking the thought of that.
That is a really nice crock. I’ve never seen one like that. Most of the ones I find around here were used for sauerkraut and don’t have a narrow neck.

PS is that axe original or was it cut off and welded up by someone? I wonder what it’s job was
Eric Krewson:
Someone turned that axe into a brush hook, when I was 16 I worked with a fire road clearing team out in the woods, the city hired us kids to teach us to work and put a little money in our pockets. We used all hand tools, axes, saws, scythes and such. We started out with a brush hook in our arsenal but the boss took it away after so many kids who didn't know how to use it ended up with stiches in their ankles and legs from the cuts it made.
As a kid growing up on a hobby farm we used one to clear honeysuckle patches, I knew how to use one but they could be very dangerous.
YosemiteBen:
brush hooks are just cool! I have several, factory and home made! if you knw how to use them they are very useful! I like old tools too! I just don't have time to use them....
