Vague question, I know but we found a couple (totally Montana) wind chimes of horses with horseshoes, etc hanging from them as wind chimes in an old estate sale lot. They sound great, but I can’t for the life of me tell if the aging is genuine or fake. They have a mark on the back that clearly says Panko Iron, but any Google search I do for them just gives me a bunch of info about breadcrumbs. Anyone ever heard of them?

 

We are a visual group, Hob...show us da goods!

 

Based in Florence, MT, Panko Iron is a metalworking and welding company that provides metal roofing and sheet metal construction as well as other services.

 

Normally I would but my wife is handling the merchandise right now lol.
Thanks for the help! I’ll reach out to the artist directly; looks like he mostly makes knives these days. Hopefully they have some value, being hand made and all!

 

I was not suggesting it had to be Ron Panko. He lives in the same area but the company is specializing in many other things
Services offered
Iron Fabrication
Metal Fabrication
Metalwork Repair
Metalworking
Mobile Welding

 

It would make sense. We live right next to Florence and there aren’t too many Panko’s out here (aren’t too many people at all really lol).

 

Now with added pictures!
They sound great, really melodic and pleasant.

 

I believe this is the listing where @flipper got the information --

In case you wanted to contact them.

 

I did! It was theirs lol. Reached out on Facebook. Guess they sold them at five local Wal Marts in the 90s.
