When I see antique stuff like that at a scrap yard, I have to think it's stolen. Nobody in their right might would sell stuff like wagon wheels, blacksmith vises, etc for scrap. There are a lot of thieves who prowl around unoccupied buildings out in the boonies stealing antiques. If things are too hot for them to sell them to the antique store, they could very well scrap them. The only way anything like that could be somewhat legitimate is if some shady junk man bought offered to "clean out" some old widow lady's garage or something, like the man who bought the contents of my grandpa's brother's machine shop for $100 from his grieving widow.
