Okay, this isn't really Amish related per se (but it is farm-related) Elizabeth from Kentucky posted a photo to the Amish365.com timeline asking what these are and how much they are worth? Â I'm a city boy...I haven't a clue what they are. Â But I'm always up for learning something new so I figure one our readers out there will know. Â These are fun types of posts because I do always learn something. Â And what they are worth? Â To me they look like old, rusty anchors attached to a pole, but obviously they are not that...they serve some sort of farm function, but what? Â Hopefully someone one will tell us!

i would bet that they are tools, regional in nature, probably related to tobacco.

I'm a country girl, and you may have me here 🙂 We used to play a game with horseshoes, so this may be the same except they play with these anchor pieces.....that would be my guess.....and maybe they call it something else.......

I bet my dad would know exactly what these are if he were still alive. There were some of these here on our farm somewhere several years ago but I don't know what they are or where they have been put. If I think of it I will ask my uncle when I see him in a couple of weeks if no one has given us the answer by then.

Hi Kevin, I'm not sure, but this reminds me of something we saw a year or two ago at an old-time farm day in Shipshewana. I think something that looked like this item was dragged behind a team to cut hay or some type of grain in the field.
