Yesterday I went to a friends farm and yard,these are a few items I came across, I did a bundle and purchased them to restore back to original condition.
Cast iron troughs,old washing mangle,oil dispenser etc.

The yard is about four acres and full of all manner of antique farm equipment,tools and bygones.

He had about twenty blacksmiths anvils on the roof of a building but one day recently he sold them to a chap who called in to see what he had for sale.....I wish I had purchased one from him,he even had the proper metal stand for one of them.

He told me he wanted £100.00 a piece for them,but obviously if the chap purchased quite a few from him the price went down somewhat.

I wished I had purchased an anvil on its stand for £100.00 do not think you would have got one cheaper.

That is a nice Blackstone cake breaker, literally anything made by them has a premium price. Old mangles are collectable as well these days, though at present they are still reasonably affordable. Lots of stuff on farms around here but the owner's seem to want to let them rot away rather than offer them for sale!

I don't think it was looking at the items, but it sounds like a Yard in Cheshire I know of.

I am not going to say any more, but it is full of Interesting things!

Looks like you had a good haul! Smile

Cheers

Funny you should mention Salvage Hunters, the producers wanted to film DP walking around in my garage last year trying to persuade me to sell something. Needless to say I didn't take up their kind offer Smile
