Help/Advice on selling antique farming equipment

Hello everyone! (Please excuse my poor farming knowledge ahead of time!)

I was hoping for some advice on the best way to sell our antique farming equipment. We've had several things sitting around and would like to help get them to a new home or else they will be sold for scrap metal. I really don't know where to go to post more information or list the items, so I'm hoping maybe someone here can point me in the right direction.

What do we have?
-Oliver 24in Potato Digger (Horse Drawn) (it's old!)
-New No.3 Aspinwall Potato Planter (Houlton, Maine)
-Oliver Horse Drawn Sickle Mower
-And maybe a couple other things like a hayer and arbor?

They're all rusty with little paint left but they have most all of their parts. The potato planter still has it's (original?) cloth bags. I can post pictures if anyone would like to see.

I just have no idea even if they're of any value and would be worth listing online instead of scraping the metal.

I'm forever grateful for any help anyone has. Thank you!
 
You should post pictures to show the condition. The potato planter and digger should bring a good price if they're in good shape. Here's late model Oliver digger and an old Hoover digger. Hal

Thanks so much for getting back to me!

I have a couple pics of the Potato Digger right now, but it's gotten dark enough I'll have to wait til later to get other pictures.

Let me know if you think this is worth more than just the metal!

My husband has sold old items at a consignment auction. Has always gotten a decent price and you don't have the headache of selling it yourself. There is one in our area that sells antique tractors/equipment each August...

Maybe there is a similar auction in your area.
 
Where are you located. I would be interested in both pieces depending on the distance i would have to travel and the asking price. Keith
