This one was beyond having (Character) it was headed for the bone pile. When it came in the hammer was actually rusted solid into the frame. So we gave it life and I thought I would share pics. It was lost in a barn in Oklahoma for over 20 years. These kind are worth the extra work for me!!!!
Thanks Bobby

Bobby, nice job, we like it, and I know how hard it is to do that,bring 'em back from the "brink" , done many ourselves over the years when we had our shops, but way before any pictures of "before and after"....though I did save a couple in the later years.....retired now , and enjoying it 8-)
again, fine job............ ;)
