Letters to the Editor
Unidentified piece “definitely not a waffle iron”
Regarding Steve Lubar’s letter to the editor, November 2021 issue of Farm Collector: How about a meat tenderizer for dinosaur steaks used by Alley Oop’s woman?
Seriously: The item shown on Page 5 would have been used as a soil compactor (tamper) when constructing a stone (or rock) sidewalk or a foundation of rock or stone when building a corncrib, barn or house. The first two-story country homes we lived in in the late 1930s, ‘40s and ‘50s had rock foundations with no mortar.
