Antique Farm Tools Website w/Pictures Here's a web site with photos of Antique Farm Tools dating from about 1600 to 1940 (chaff cutters, dibblers, flails, etc.). Though most are from England, Wales and Scotland, others from the USA are also included: http://www.antiquefarmtools.info/index.htm Peter Charles Dorrington collected and restored over 750 antique farm tools between 1985 and 2001. Most of these tools were agricultural hand implements and fenland tools that were used in England, Wales and Scotland, dating from about 1600 to 1940, for example: "chaff cutters", "flails", scythes", "dibbers" and "breast ploughs". Photographs of roughly half of the tools that are still in the collection are included here. Information and notes on some of the tools are also included. In pre-industrial societies, throughout the world, most people worked as agricultural labourers. Indeed many of the types of hand farm tools on this website might have been used by your own ancestors... Detail from David Teniers The Younger's , "The Chaff Cutter" 1610-1630 http://www.antiquefarmtools.info/use...-cutter(2).jpg

Agreed. The 'chaff cutter' is a lost art and most folks would love a bed of chaff under their tents..
