Another Moncton historic house is being demolished right around the corner. No details on what’s to come.

McCormick Deering Type E-M 6 Wheat Binder

This evening, I found a very old piece of our Canadian heritage. This wheat binder is almost 100 years old and was used on a field I presently own near Moncton. Thanks to a small plaque on the relic I was able to find out exactly what it was. We can even see similar models in action on YouTube, hauled by horses or tractors. Here’s the short story of the company that produced it. Like many other major American corporations, it pretty much vanished during the Great Depression.

Station de pompage Highfield pumping station

La station de pompage Highfield à Moncton, inaugurée exactement 100 ans passées. Une intéressante juxtaposition de machinerie moderne et d’il y a cent ans, côte à côte dans le même espace.
The Highfield pumpin station celebrated its 100th anniversary this Saturday. Cake and tours were offered to the public. Interesting mix of machinery that spanned a century side by side.
