Sure Grip, Patented

Sure Grip, Patented

For when you need to get a grip, here is a “sure grip” – patented in Canada in November, 1900.
Found on an ancient garage/shed near the shores of Green Bay in Door County. (The bay Green Bay, not the city of Packers, Green Bay.)

Wisconsin Plow

We in Wisconsin love our farm plows and they never seem to get too old or go out of fashion. Once our favorite plow becomes obsolete in the field, it is transformed into a yard decoration. Some get painted in shiny black or silver; others go au natural with a lovely rust patina. Sometimes they are centered in gravel circles with boulders circling the edges. Sometimes they are the centerpiece for flowers. And decorative farm equipment is certainly more popular these days than pink flamingos or those freaky gnomes – though you still can see those around if you are observant.

What are the favored yard decorations in your little part of the world?
