Old plow?

[The Monk]

This is more of a 'when is it' than a what is it. I'm pretty sure these are parts from an old plow but I'm not sure of the age. Next to the plow I found a glass bottle from the mid 19th century. This was found in an wooded area I've been exploring for the last few years. I was hoping that maybe someone could help determine the age of the plow.

im thinking it was a piece of equipment powered from a seperate steam engine from the big smooth flywheel on it.

being in w. va. its most likely left over from the logging days. i dont know what the part is called that

you lay the logs on that moves them into the saw blade, but thats what im thinkin it is. just my wag.

I recommend contacting the West Virginia Farm Museum and get their input on it.. i think they'd be your best source of information on antique agricultural equipment. They have a website with contact links at http://wvfarmmuseum.org/

Not to worry. I was raised on a farm, and would have traded many days.........
