So while we have been salvaging barns, rail cars and old buildings this last month we have been coming across some amazing old relics. This was used as siding on an old homestead building from the early 1900's.
It is from a 1971 Watford City, North Dakota newspaper press. They used this old tin for printing newspapers back in the day and the guy who owned the property got it for free from the owner and decided to use it as siding on the original homestead to protect it from weather. He had the wording placed towards the building so at first we just thought it was some old tin. But once we started taking it off we noticed this.
Now we are taking this old tin off the building very carefully and going to salvage what we can. It is very thin so it takes some time to take it off without ripping the tin.
What are some design ideas you might do with this???
