Lot #406: Antique Primitive Iron & Wood Farmhouse Tool Collection – Rustic Kitchen & Hand Implements

Wonderful collection of antique and vintage utilitarian hand tools with the authentic surface, wear, and patina that decorators and primitive collectors love. This eclectic group includes several unusual iron and wood implements, including a folding wood-and-metal measuring/tool device, long-handled cast/forged iron implement, decorative wire utensil or strainer, and a large iron gripping/tong-style tool. Exact original functions and makers are unknown. These pieces have clearly seen decades of practical use and now have tremendous appeal as primitive farmhouse décor, country kitchen display, rustic wall art or additions to an antique tool collection. The aged wood, darkened metal and extensive oxidation create the kind of authentic patina that is difficult to reproduce. Especially attractive displayed together on a kitchen, workshop, barn or farmhouse wall. Condition: Antique/vintage condition with heavy rust, oxidation, surface wear, discoloration, old paint remnants, scratches and general age-related deterioration throughout. Items have not been cleaned or restored. Functionality has not been tested. Sold as found and primarily for collectible/decorative purposes. Please review all photographs carefully for condition and completeness. Pickup category timeslot {B}
