The newsletter of the Cast Iron Seat Association, edited by Dick
Leill, contains news of interest to all collectors . . .
Jim Norman, of Perry, MO, a seat collector, is assembling old
cars, horsedrawn equipment and farm items for a museum next to his
home. Jim’s father has ‘just about every piece of equipment
that you might find around the farm of 40 or 50 years ago.’
John Friedly, of Ionia, MO, has ‘the largest collection of
Cast Iron Seats in the world’ approximately 1,100, hanging
neatly on the walls of one building.
Terry Keagan’s new book on cast iron seats of Great Britain
and Ireland is available from Leill for $10.00. His address is 4505
Sugar Maple Drive, Lafayette, Indiana 47905.
‘Farm Implement Planter Lids 1840-1940’ has been written
by Gene Murdock, Box 73, Bonne Terre, MO 63628; 400 named lids
included; available from Gene for $4.00.
The annual show and meeting of the association is set for July
16, 17, 18, 1982, at Hawkeye Antique Acres, near Waukee, Iowa.
