This is an old shingle mill owned by the Georgia Agrirama museum in Tifton, GA. Unfortunately, it is in pretty rough shape and was acquired with several broken or missing parts. It could probably be restored but it would be a major undertaking. We would probably have to find either a donor machine or at least a similar machine that we could make patterns from to have some new pieces cast.
