I dug up and brought home a one man crosscut blade.
It's got no life left as a saw, but fillet knives, small machetes, you name it I can make a number of things out of it.

What can you tell me about that small DB head, and that small lugged head next to it ?
Both instantly jumped out at me.

When the seller told me, that he was going to bring treadle grinder in a week I was curious. Once I saw pictures, I became a man on the mission: I had to try to get it !!!

Nice haul!
The stone on that grinder is very different than what is commonly found on the bigger treadle grinders. Most of those came from Ohio and were called Berea grit.
What do you think of that stone?

Thanks. I believe the original grinding stones for this model came from Michigan. https://books.google.com/books?id=8...e&q=Berea vs huron sharpening stones&f=false

The one fresh out of the VapoRust showed up at my home hitching a ride in the backpack of a hitchhiker and the hafted one followed me home from a trip to find a handle for the first.

The first was in pretty rough shape and one bit was beyond salvaging so it suffered an amputation but the remaining bit polished up well. I'm currently looking for a short Adirondack handle.

The other made a full recovery and currently sits on a custom octagonal handle with dark mystery dowel inlays.
