different seats. In 1981, the Cast Iron
Seat Society of Great Britain was
formed.
Many collectors got started
because of other collections or
interests. George Kuhl did not set
out to collect cast iron seats
specifically. "Twenty years ago, you
could buy a whole implement like an
old binder for a couple of dollars,
seat and all," he states. "I had several
implements with the seats, and that's
how I started. I didn't intend to
collect just seats back then."
There are over 2000 recorded
designs of seats and hundreds of
different manufacturers. "Every
small town and village had its own
foundry," states Stewart Weaver.
"Many foundries put out plain seats
with no name to tell where the seats
were made. There were many, many
seats manufactured in Grey and
Bruce counties before the turn of the
century."
George Kuhl continues: "The
Magill Company operated in
Chatsworth and they made walking

plows, corn cutters, root pulpers, land
rollers, and threshing machines. No
one has located any seat from the
Magill Company as yet." Cost-
cutting measures eventually forced
companies to begin using cheaper
steel seats in the late 1800s and early
1900s.
Every year the Seat Meet features
a particular seat. This year it is the
V. Wahns Seat, made in Grey County
in the village of Neustadt between
1860 and 1870. It is an American
Harvester seat from a reaper. This
seat has a rating of 10 1/2 on the
scale used by the CISCA to rate the
availability of seats. A 10 1/2 rating
means that the seat is extremely rare.
The scale is as follows:
10 1/2 = only one seat
known to exist
10 = 5 or Less known
