Question about old farm antiques in shed at house we just moved into

[Gilligan]

I have several pictures of items left in a shed at our home we just bought. I want to sell these items but have no clue as where to start. I don't even know what some of these things are, besides a sheller for pecans (I think), a pipe holder and some kind of scale arm with a weight...the scale arm has ruler type marks and says New Haven Conneticut on it. Please, if someone could give me a place to start as far as asking price, I would really appreciate it. Bryan

Yes they are cobblers iron forms and what looks like the stand to go with it. The second pic shows harness hames for mules probably.

Your sheller, Black Hawk #9 Cast Iron Sheller. Made by A.H. Patch Co., Clarksville, TN. dated 1903, looked a little more like this at one time: http://byemylife.com/id26.html
Originally a corn sheller, today they are used as walnut and pecan shellers.

Looks like an Erie Pipe vise, as here:

I really appreciate the ID's... I kind of thought that those things in pic 2 were something that had to do with harnesses....now what i am interested to know is how much I should ask for the items as far a $ starting price. Does anyone have any ideas on price....I am looking to unload these items...

Since you asked....Re: the sheller....I'd first look at the offerings on Ebay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Antique-Eri...231?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4cfe4ad7a7
Then I'd look at their completed sales:
http://www.ebay.com/csc/i.html?rt=n...ack Hawk sheller&_fln=1&_trksid=p3286.c0.m283

Notwithstanding, I'd start the bidding at 99 cents and see what happens.

The last pic has the the pea for the scale shown in the first pic. I would be interested in buying the shoe lasts.

Pic 1....the scale arm with the weight .......My dad who grew up during the depression said that scale arm is a Cotton Scale...there were different weights used to counter balance the bag of cotton....Joe

Photo #1. Shoe repair set; $30.-$40. Scale; $25.-$35. Auger; $35.-$45. Photo#2. Hames for harnessing team of horses or mules. $20.-$30. a set. Photo#3 and 4. Corn sheller $40.-$50. Pipe vise $30.-$40. I think these prices are within reason.

If you will add the scale in photo 1 to the weight that goes with it in the last photo, the pair would likely bring $30-$60, especially here in the Southern states. They were also used to weigh produce, such as potatoes and other crops sold by the pound. I recently saw just the scale-weight of that type for sale in a local antique shop for $ 40, though that price DID seem kinda high ...

Any of those rr related? Any stamped markings? Nice pieces!

IN picture on right top. Those are Hanes - used to harness horses and mules to things, like plows. Let me know if you find a price for them.

Contact your local auctioneer. He has probably seen mountains of stuff like that. I've seen lots of it. Depending on your area, he can give you a true value.
