Posted: 17 Sep 2018 at 6:26am |
I have never much been into A-C "stuff"?? collecting but this got dropped into my lap at our show Saturday. I had not seen one previously but as I said I am not into it. Thought ya'll would enjoy seeing it.

If all else fails ,Read all that is PRINTED.
Just because you do not have the tools for job , it dose not make it a bad design.

I'd bet that there were some of those on my Uncles farms. Had two Uncles who worked for Allis in La Crosse here. Had I only known!!

When I was about 6 years old, our local dealer had a fully stocked display in the Lawn & Garden section with an array of A-C branded garden tools. I reached for a shovel, and knocked the whole rack down. One of the parts guys helped me put everything back as it was. Brought back a good memory.

Never seen one of those before. I don't remember Dad's dealership ever stocking any thing like that. We had a lot of Bonnie hand tools, but I don't recall any garden tools.

As long as yours wasn't a 6 tine, you did good  Dad always used a 6 tine to dig taters and I passed on his old one when my brother thought he would like it. Next time I picked mine up, I broke an outside tine off

By the looks of it, I thought that it would be a 2 bit ax.
