Hello,
I was doing a cleaning-up because I am in process of changing my grandpa's farm into my campground business and he got this abandoned hog farm building that was built in 50's. I found this implement and it had a brand name "McCormick - Deering" on it.
I am thinking of maybe sandblasting it and then paint it by original manufacturer color if I can find out its color specs or paint it black and sell it to serious antique collector. I have no idea how much it is worth as is and how much it is worth after I restore it so any idea where I should start to get it appraised??
