A gift for my dad’s farm
My dad has a farm and loves to make it look old. I am trying to come up with a good gift idea. My sister has gotten him a triangle dinner bell and a hand pump for his well. I would like ideas along that same line. Please help

How about a boot scraper, an antique painted barn lantern, a milking stool, a barn windvane or lightning rods.

Most farmers love their old tractors. Any kind of tractor memorabilia, or signs – there’s a lot of reproductions out there.
It seems like I’ve seen old cast iron tractor seats made into a chair sticking out of an old milk can, but I can’t tell you where now. I like almost everything from Lehman’s Non-Electric Catalog, you’ll find something there on every page, probably, and another farm catalog with a lot of more current offerings is.
Does your dad have any old farm equipment around? Most farmers do, but if he’s lacking in that, you could haul him home some antique hay rakes or something to park in the front yard. I see that sort of thing fairly often on Craigs List.
Well, that should give you quite a few potential gifts to choose from.
