    He was really forward thinking when he saved it back in the 50's, almost no one thought twice about keeping any of that old iron.

    I just put a handle on a pitchfork that must be at least from that time. It looks like cast iron, four tines and is somewhat small. I use it to turn over a small compost station (pitchforks are not actually good for leaves since it pokes thru and the leaves stick, but it is better than a shovel and is good enough for what I'm doing).
