    Yes, it was meant to be. We pulled into the parking lot of the junque shop and there it stood, waiting for me to come claim it!!

    My new tractor hood ( photo / image / picture from toni's Garden )

    It's from a Farmall M tractor, vintage unknown. Do you see the face or the possibility of a face? I'll post another photo when it is in it's new home.

    And tomorrow I will get photos of all the other goodies I found today.

    It was meant to be Toni!! So glad it was still there for you and, yes, I do see the possibility of a face on it. :-D

    Thanks you all. I knew it would be appreciated here, whereas my oldest daughter and some of Randy's friends just shook their heads in disbelief when he sent the photo to them yesterday afternoon. :rolleyes:

    It's going in the yard pretty much as is. But I am thinking about painting on a second eye...just a half circle and a few eyelashes to make it look like the hood is winking. ;)

    So happy it was still there! And yep... definitely can see the face. I can't wait to see all the other treasures you found.

    With it's temporary wink. Sent this photo to oldest daughter, youngest grandson (who is a kid after my own heart) texted back to say that is exactly what he would have done and he thought it is awesome!!

    Gives a whole new meaning to "hood-winked".
    (to any of you not familiar with the term... basically it means to be deceived).

    Oh, my gosh. I wonder why Randy didn't think of that one too? He must be slipping in his older age ;)

    Exactly what it needed Toni that's why it waited for you to buy it. :D

    It is unique for sure. I can see the face in it. It sort of reminds me of those Easter Island sculptures out in the Pacific someplace and the odd faces they have.
