Anyone know Easy Way hay loader colors?
Here at the Hancock County (Iowa) Agricultural Museum & Pioneer Village, we are restoring an Easy Way hay loader built by Sandwich Mfg. Co., Sandwich, Illinois, between 1912 and into the 1920s. The company was purchased by New Idea Co. in about 1930. We want to learn about the color scheme for this loader. The donor thinks the wooden parts may have been orange or light red. Perhaps scraping away more dried-up grease and dirt will help reveal the color of the wheels.
