Set of Plow Points Used by Harold O. Edison, circa 1917
- Hay Knife Blade, circa 1800 - Farm families cut and cured enough grass each summer to feed hay to their livestock all winter. Stored hay settled over time and farmers used special knives to cut out chunks for feed. The blacksmith who forged this wrought-iron blade created a long cutting edge. They also forged a collar and groove on the backside of the blade to set and hold the wooden handle in place.
