Here are a few pictures of my seed drill and jigger that have been passed down to me from my Father as they were to him by his Father.

Delightful, aren't they.
Have you seen www.thecedartree.co.uk/ornamenta/artifacts.htm - 11k - ?
Richard - They are delightful tools and very much worth keeping. They would make a nice feature in your garden !
;D :D
Marianne I still use the tools most days on the allotment, they save a lot of time for me. ::)
Wow! Those must be a real boon on the Allotment Richard.
Well Richard - If you are still using them, that is an added bonus ! :D
Dad has the exact same wheeled hoe which he also still uses.
He also has an old seed drill. It is not really a garden tool as it sows as 10' wide row of seeds, usually wheat/barley/swedes etc.
They are huge collectors items now by the way and can fetch good sums of money so make sure you lock them away safe and sound.
