Pamphlet. Condition: Poor. This pamphlet is in terrible condition because the pages are stuck together. Some pages are partially visible and that may be helpful to someone. Or, someone may know of a way to separate the pages successfully resulting in possessing something that could be of value personally or for resale. Very scarce item (only two showing in WorldCat). Please contact us if you have any questions or would like to see more images. Interesting text accompanies the photos. Reference is made to Mercer making the statement: "The Peavey was the invention of a blacksmith, John Peavey of Bolivar, New York, who about 1870, put a cant-hook on a jam pike, thus making a tool with which a log could be rolled toward him as well as pried away from him. . . . The Maine story of the Peavey cant-dog agrees with Mercer's account only in ascribing the invention of the Peavey to a blacksmith Peavey . . . , and he lived in Stillwater, Maine." ; B&W Illustrations; Small 4to 9" - 11" tall; 6 pages.…
