Hello from Hazard! We had one guess come in on Item No. 1198. Larry Broestle, North Royalton, Ohio, said it’s a part to adjust the teeth depth of a spring tooth harrow (farming) but part of the handle is broke off. Rodney Borland of East Rochester, Ohio, submitted Item No. 1198. The item was attached to an oak front door in Randy’s home when he purchased it in 1965. The door has since been repurposed, but he did save it. • • • Linda Farnsworth Mueller, Wadsworth, Ohio, found Item No. 1199 in the recesses of the barns that have been in her family for four generations. If you know what it is and what it was used for, email us at editorial@farmanddairy.com; or by mail to: Hazard a Guess, c/o Farm and Dairy, P.O. Box 38, Salem, OH 44460.
