[AT] ).T. - Wanted - double thumbed corn shucker gloves & potato digger

Try contacting Lehmans hardware in Kidron, Herb.  If they don't have them, they should know where to get them.  
We had a couple husking hooks and a corn peg on the farm when I was growing up, and we had some of those husking gloves that you're looking for, but I haven't seen any of those items on the market since around 1950.

Dad always raised approx 100 acres of corn and hand shucked it himself, except for two years when he experienced health issues; I have used and worn out several pair back in the mid late 40’s.  Also need a potato digger (operational or readily repairable) for the approx 600 lbs of sweet potatoes we normally raise, plus Barbara wants more red potatoes, plus I would like to get rid of the potato size rocks in our large vegetable garden. I have been reluctant to use a nice tractor tiller because of these rocks. Herb(GA)
