Sure would like to find a couple pair (new or decent condition) of double 
thumbed corn shucker gloves.  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)
