Are you a picker?

Don’t know if these are compatible with Spademans.

I don't know if theyre the same brand but I have a pair for tailgating/parking lot beer break that are pretty rockered and definitely make walking and grilling easier

I think I'm starting to get it. Can someone define picker? ?

A picker is someone who's a garbage picker, or one who buys at garage sales, estate sales, thrift stores etc.
At least that's my definition.

Definitely not a "pick" but it just came into my household. It was given to me by my grandparents on the day I was born. The story goes that it originally came out of my grandfather's mother's house. That part is uncertain.
Anyway, here's my coo coo clock. It was made in Germany and old.

Does it identify east or west Germany? Usually the initials are on the back.

I didn't see any initials on the back. You can barely make out Made in Germany on the back.

In English?

Yes, in English

I wonder if it might be something my grandfather brought back from WW2. Seems odd, but you never know.

That’s pretty cool Camp. I thought it might be used for hitching but I wasn’t sure so I cheated and looked it up. I think we might have one kicking around somewhere, I’ll have to dig around for it. My other guesses were, fence puller, rope maker and midget boxing ring corner.

Thanks --- I like it, too. One nice thing about living in farm country is I can find some cool old rusty gold. That's the stuff I like. I'll clean this thing up and put it on display somewhere around my house.

I had a darn good haul this weekend. My favorite pick was a 20' logging chain, with great hooks on it, for 10 bucks. Sure, it's old and rusty but I'm thinking the steel is this old chain is a much better quality than any new chain I could buy. Not to mention the cost difference.
