Joe spends the day with Jay Lehman, founder of Lehman's, previously known as Lehman's Hardware in the heart of Ohio's Amish country.
Joe interviews Jay, who started out as a mechanic fixing all manner of things. After returning to Ohio in 1955, jobless, he decided to purchase a local hardware store. In the beginning their primary business was repairing the large household equipment such as washing machines and heaters, for local Amish.
During the 1970's energy crisis, many people started looking for alternative to electricity. They started to sell more to the general public.
Often people would be looking to upgrade to modern equipment and just traded in their "old " stuff. Jay took a liking to many of these treasures and that's where the antique collection started. The collection is made up primarily of donated pieces along with some purchased and some on "loan" until the grandkids decide they want them.
Here are some of the items Jay shows us:
Cylindrical ice box used by construction workers on the Panama Canal.
adjustable meat slicer
Conservo canner
Large 1600# balance scale
smaller grain scales
turnip planter
timothy seed planter

milking machine
meat curing trough
butchering table
feed cart
wooden silo elevator

manure collecting system
...and much more.
This is the first in a two part show.
