- Joe spends the day with Jay Lehman, founder of Lehman's, previously known as Lehman's Hardware in the heart of Ohio's Amish country.
Joe interviews Jay, who started out as a mechanic fixing all manner of things. After returning to Ohio in 1955, jobless, he decided to purchase a local hardware store. In the beginning their primary business was repairing the large household equipment such as washing machines and heaters, for local Amish.
During the 1970's energy crisis, many people started looking for alternative to electricity. They started to sell more to the general public.
Often people would be looking to upgrade to modern equipment and just traded in their "old " stuff. Jay took a liking to many of these treasures and that's where the antique collection started. The collection is made up primarily of donated pieces along with some purchased and some on "loan" until the grandkids decide they want them.
In this episode Jay shows us:
First we see a huge pristine Rumely tractor
A huge meat slicer
An Victrola in operation
A tour of the 60 ft log beams that are the structure behind some of the Lehman building today.
A corn planter
A threshing machine mounted IN the store!!!

A jail cell from Somerset, Penn.

Jay has many unidentified items in the store that people have donated and do not know what they are?? He can always use some advice.

Nothing better then a old school hard worker . That guy can do anything he wants . It's a shame to see the old ways replaced . Expecialy in the labor fields.
Does Lehman's deliver to the surrounding area... like the Amish and other rural locations?
It's all to for the tourist but I remember going in there when I was little boy 58 years ago they have a lot of neat stuff stuff you can't find anywhere
Are you Amish?
11:38 looks like a pear picker
I have a question for Jay and his workers. Do you still sell things like you did when you were named Lehman's hardware store?
I would have thought contacting the Smithsonian would be the first source for information on many of these unknown items. The curators there are supported by taxpayers so why not make use of them?
The same Smithsonian that's responsible for numerous artifacts from the past misteriosly missing ?maybe I'm thinking of another Institute.
