Antique Barn Trolley Question

[Wolf-Ridge]

Does anyone know who manufactured the Antique Barn Trolleys and Barn Pulleys that have the sideways M I ????

[FarmboyBill]

Whats M I?

[Wolf-Ridge]

The M is actually sideways and the I is right next to it. Kind of hard to describe I GUESS.

[FarmboyBill]

Sorry, that statement makes no sense to me

I can tell you that likely a doz companies made trolleys that would go either side of a 3 bay barn.
Likely there was AT LEAST 2 doz carrier companies makeing the trolleys at any one time between 1890 and 1930
They made the wood tract trolleys till the mid 20s.

IF you how how to bring them up, Theres been at least 2 IN DEPTH posatins on hay trolleys here.

He's looking for the manufaturer of his hay trolley, it has the initials M I on it.

Could the sideways M actually be an E? Roman-ized style, ...E I???

[Common Tator]

I don't know I'd this will help, but it is interesting. Could it be made by Myers?

[Wolf-Ridge]

Is there a way for me to add a photo of it?? I'm new here and don't know the rules on that.

Sounds like you are describing the capital Greek letter Sigma.

Is it kind of like that? Maybe stands for Sigma Industries, or something similar.

Yes you can add photos but someone else will have to tell you how to do that.

Yeah, I used to do industrial automation work so I threw the name out.
