Look what I found. Just a bit of Americana.
I think it is an Oliver Corn Picker, but I'm not a farmer so I don't know about farm equipment. I found it off trail in the woods round here on my morning walk. Its been here a little while as trees and brier roses have grown up around it.
2 seeds of thought:
There used to be a truck from the 1920s out in the woods, not far from my parent's cottage on lake with trees all grown up around it. We were told it was for pulling stumps out of what was a swamp, which is now the lake.
We kids used to go and play on it, always looking out for bees nests. Now that I'm a dad, It would be definitely off-limits for my kid.
I have what I'm pretty sure is a silo top (looks like a flying saucer) in my woods -- I think sometimes things might have been placed to be blinds for deer hunting, as this silo top would be perfect for that. Climb in, sit around a while, drink some coffee -- one could conceivably even have a small propane stove or heater in there....
