Hi everyone- I have a slightly unusual request since usually please contact this list when they have items that need a new home, but in this case I am hoping you can assist me in finding objects that could use a new home. I am currently working on the furnishing plans for an expansion currently underway at Sauder Village in NW Ohio scheduled to open in August 2009. This "Pioneer Settlement" expansion will be adding and/or renovating several areas to our complex focusing on pioneer settlement of the Great Black Swamp area of NW Ohio from 1834-1890. Although we have many of the items necessary for this expansion and our on-site craftsmen are working on some replicas. I am still looking for several items that we currently do not have in our collections. I am hoping that someone (preferably in the Midwest) might have one or more of these items in their collection and be willing to discuss relocating them to Sauder Village. We would prefer to trade or transfer for these items rather then loan them since this is a long term installation. 1- 6-plate or 10-plate stove, ca. 1840s 1- Cook stove, ca. 1850s-1875 (potentially could be used in the future) 1 or 2 - Cylinder stoves, ca. 1890-1900s (large but simple designs needed for use in Mennonite Church) 2- Wood Crates, ca. 1830s 2- Wood Barrels, ca. 1830s 4- Wood kegs, ca. 1830s 1- Flour Barrel, ca. 1840s-1850s 1- Firewood Boxes, ca. 1840s-1870s 1- Coffee Grinder, ca. 1830s 2- Coffee Grinders, ca. 1840s-1850s 1- Andirons, ca. 1840s (very simple style for small rural school) 2- Ladder back chairs, ca. 1840s-1850s 6- Dining room chairs, ca. 1870s 2- Basin/Ewer Sets, ca. 1840s-1850s 2- Dry sinks, ca. 1840-1870s 1- Dough box, ca. 1840-1870s Materials and Equipment for a rural/farm Wagon Shop, ca. 1875 (Please contact me for more information) Also, I am looking for good sources for hearth appropriate cookware (i.e. spiders, skillets, etc) for use in our foodways program. If you know of good sources of hearth cookware, please let me know. If you have any of these items and you are interested in discussing relocating these items to Sauder Village, please contact me at the address, email or phone listed below.
