Antique Farm Implements for Sale South Africa
What are antique farm implements in South Africa?
To most antique collectors and dealers, the term farm tools encompasses the general areas of:
- Hand tools such as pitchforks, wrenches, sickles, and rakes
- Implements such as Vicon acrobats, haybobs, and chain harrows used in tilling, plowing, and harvesting
- Farm equipment such as threshers, balers and tractors.
What are the types of Antique farm implements in South Africa?
These are some of the more common antique farm implements.
- Hammers– Typically antique hammers were ball pein (meaning they had a round piece at the back of the hammer’s head rather than a claw) and came with wooden handles.
- Axes– Antique axes were usually smaller than the axes found lining today’s hardware shelves, and were rounded in the way that ball-pein hammers were.
- Wrench– A lot of antique wrenches were actually curved in the middle, so if you find zig-zag looking wrenches, it’s likely an older one.
- Hay fork– Hay forks have been around for centuries and are typically made out of wood or later, wood and metal. These multi-pronged tools were used to move hay around.
- Sheep shears– Much thicker and intimidating looking than regular scissors, antique sheep shears were metal and ranged in sizes from the size of your hand to double or triple the size.
- Garden hoe– Antique garden hoes were rounded in the same way that axes and hammers were, partially due to the wear and tear that the metal endured while performing all of the labor.
