Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Farm tools?
Good morning!
We recently received a donation of what look to my untrained eyes like ordinary shears that have been left outside for a number of years. A local resident found the shears in the bed of a creek, and he (and we) would like to know more about them, such as their approximate age. I have more experience with paper items that with farm or gardening tools, and I'm not sure how to find out the information, other than calling all of the farm-based museums in the area. Can anyone out there point me in the right direction? I'll be happy to share a picture of the shears with interested parties.
Best regards,
Rachel Roberts
