We have just finished a full strip down & rebuild to preserve this interesting cultivator. Manufactured by Whitman Barnes, patented in 1898, featuring the adjuster to enable the width of operation to be easily changed. Seen here witted with Weed Cutters, other attachments included, ploughs, rakes & leaf guards.
Hello Clive, I am really interested to see this post as I am pretty certain it is the same as one in my shed. When I bought it I was told it was French, (although the person said that about several items in his collection), but obviously not as your research has come up with Whitman Barnes. Will take photo and post on here to compare. Regards–Steve
Pictures of what I believe is my Whitman and Barnes push hoe.
It is very much as I bought it some 15 years ago and requires a really good polish up in order to look like yours.
Do you have any knowledge of age Clive?
