"Corn Crib Latch" Acrylic painting.

On the door of the old corn crib was a really unique hand made latch the eye of which slipped over a screw-eye and a hand-made iron pin on a hand-made very fine chain slipped through the screw-eye to secure the latch.

This was old Yankee craftsmanship at its best. I can't imagine how many hours were spent making this latch when a piece of wood with a nail through it would have served as well.
