Thread: Vintage Iron

I thought I'd start a thread on things that are vintage, but not necessarily razor related. As some know I have my great grandfather's straight razor. He homesteaded on the Valentine area of what would become Garfield County in which the town of Pomeroy is the county seat and the home of my birth.

My great grandfather's name was Watson Davis but he was known to friends and family as 'Wat'.

Wat registered his brand, the Diamond D at the Alpowai Post Office on December 20th, 1887 in the Washington Territory. I have a copy of the original:



The copy was provided by my 'Cousin' David Ruark. The way I figure we are cousins is because David's Grandmother's sister married my grandfather's brother.

David was instrumental in creating the Eastern Washington Agricultural Museum. I've posted about the annual open house which is the first weekend of April, it's a free event, with horse drawn plowing and other events. I'm proud to be a lifetime member.

Here's a link to the museum:
