Tools and stuff identification

The claw thing was used to pick up ice to make it easy to carry. You would put the ice in your icebox ( before refrigerators became common )

Neat find, I love scavenging (with permission), funny what people don't want.

If you Google Parker Plow Co. you will find several useful links, I have one of those wrenches as well.

I figured it was to pick up something. I thought it might be for bundles of wheat or wood or something

I found several hits on the company...

About a plow, probably a different one...

My son found a wrench and I found a little more history on the company with a little digging, most plow companies made wrenches for their plows, assume that is what you have.

Good luck,
