Inventor Mystery Letterbox #1

Location for Box #1:

I invented, among other items, a useful tool for use by all housewives in the late 1800's that is still being used today, although a newer invention has made mine less popular.


Besides being a prolific inventor of such items as a combination lock, corn planter and an adding machine, I was also a partner in a company that manufactured the pieces of a horse's harness that fit around the neck of a horse called a "hame."

My patent was granted to my on April 9, 1867.

This mystery site was built by me in VT.

Find me; find my letterbox!


Directions:

Park in front of my house on the street. Climb up the stairway. The Saris' now own this property and know this box is located there. They ask that you knock on the front door - just to let them know you are hunting for the box. Thanks.



New, Updated Clues:















Look for the Miller's Wheel
Follow it's path through Nature's Bounty
To the Rock Concert and have a seat!



Thanks to Adam Saris for not only rehiding this box after they had to remove the stump it was in originally but for actually re-clueing and designing the picture! Adam - you did a fine job and we really appreciate the care you've taken with this box and your dad, who always acts as the welcoming committee!

Contact me via email about it's condition, etc at mjpepe1@comcast.net.

Special thanks to RTRW for carving a great stamp. I am so glad you let us use it!

Have fun and just get out there & box!!!
