COLLECTORS COLLABORATE ON NEW IMPLEMENT COLLECTIBLES REFERENCE

Members of the Cast Iron Seat Collectors Assn. recently took a break from their hobby to collaborate on an impressive addition to the farm implement collectibles category. Their newly released Guide to Farm Implement Collectibles Vol. 1: Mower Lids, Footrests, Planter Markers, Planter Lids and Tool Boxes covers pieces that are highly collectible but which often fly well under the radar.

The spiral-bound paperback offers page after page of cast iron eye candy in full color and provides information on manufacturers and rarity. To sweeten the deal, the book includes reproductions of ornate commercial art from an era when advertisements showcased farm implements in a beautifully romantic way.

Whether you’re new to this category or a seasoned collector, this book is an invaluable resource and one of enduring value.
