I might possibly have got some off a Blackstone but probably only 2 left somewhere in the nettles. We used the other pair on our plough hitches. Any use?

Worth looking around old hop farms, almost every other hop farm had these, particularly the Blackstone ones (which were folders), for elevating the chopped bines and waste away from the picking machine. They went for the big long ones like the Blackstone because of the size and length and ready availability; as thrashing went out so machine hop picking was coming in.
