BC Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Well yesterday after breakfast I decided to go over to Stonehaven which is about 15 miles from where I live to visit the Thomson Memorial rally. I used to attend this rally in the past when it was held on a Saturday and did not clash with the Bon Accord Steam and Vintage Rally. I have some photos (not too many you will be saying) which I will post up later on this afternoon or evening but in the interim I will post up a few photos of interesting pieces which were on display by a local collector Jim Bruce's Bygone Days. I had to ask Jim what the following items were. Does anyone on here know what they are or would even care to hazard a guess. I'll give you a clue they are not farming related ;) What is this tool for making ??? What is this item of equipment used for ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
