Wrought Iron axles and freight tyers, OK, I'll let you know if I find anything like that.

now that was a great find..How neat is that..     Pretty amazing to think they saw the change coming and instead of fighting it they made coach bodies for cars.. 

My grand parents had a Studebaker when I was young.. What a tank.. I remember going out in a snow storm with it.. 

 

No I have not verified they are steel.. Just going from previous experience with this size axle..   If at some point I decide to use them for tools I will go through the process of determining material..  From the rust pattern it shows it to be carbon steels but then again I did not verify.. 

 

that really is one very awesome axle to find.. ..  did /was this carriage in a fire? Looks like charcoal wood behind it.. Or the Japanese black finally let go.. 

 

 

Studebaker axle first, then some random goodies with small rail cart axle in WI

Great find and chain because one can never have enough chain.

Wow, and I thought I used to be a collector of old iron.. I mean Old Wrought iron..       Sweeeeeettttt  Pile of goods you got there.. Good thing your not closer or else I'd be every other day making off with stuff..
