How about an antique tractor?
This is my 1937 John Deere model “B”

Also wondering if you use it? Very cool!

@Evadig Oh, no! This old girl has done her fair share of farming. All she does now is go to antique tractor shows. She has been restored to original condition.

Just saw your answer lol I bet there are some cool things at those tractor shows tho!

No we do not use it. It has been completely restored inside and out. All we do is show it and drive it in local parades.

Very neat! I didn’t know there was such a thing as antique tractor shows!

Yes you will see all kind of interesting equipment and engineering at tractor shows.

I live in rural area, lots of antiques here. I collect tins mostly, coffee ones. I found a few from Colo. The breakfast call coffee tin doubled as a tin for raisins my Mom had it my whole life. That's what started the journey. The Breakfast call and solitaire where both from Denver, and yes that's my families old camping percolator and yes it works.

Here are some others I have found, the cabin looking one truly is a "log cabin" syrup container.

And here is chicken cup holder " some kids 4H project no doubt. Soo I had to collect the cups of course! ( no wonder chicken math is so easy for me! )

Coffee and chickens are my reasons to live! You have a great collection going. Those are some neat coffee tins for sure! Love that they are more local, too. I have found a glass Folgers coffee container before during a bottle digging outing. The label corroded and evaporated from the jar once exposed to air, but the mountains were embossed on the sides and I thought that was cool. Much like your tins, it has a second life now as a coin jar.

And throw candy I hope! Lol I love those old tractors! We had a turtle race at our parade this year for the littles! So cute

I made a shirt from a 1940 vintage pattern - first ever! I’m trying to make my own clothes, first because I love vintage and second because my favorite clothes aren’t made anymore .

Looks good! Have you tried it on yet?

Thank you!
Yes, it was too small (I made it that way on purpose ‘cause I wasn’t sure if it was going to turn out) but it looked nice. Definitely going to make a few more in my size!
