About Old Iron Files

Old Iron Files tells the real stories behind the machines that filled American sheds, barns and driveways: who built them, why they disappeared, what they are worth now and where to find parts.

Who we are

Old Iron Files is edited by Wardah Noor, who leads a small team of documentary researchers at Creafix Media. Since 2026 we have researched and produced long-form documentaries about American lawn and garden equipment, pickups, tractors and tool brands. Each documentary starts with a research file built from period trade magazines, newspaper dealer advertisements, owner's manuals, government records and company reports. This site publishes that research in a form you can search and come back to.

What we do not do

We do not copy other websites, we do not publish machine-written pages without checking them, and we do not accept payment to say good things about a product. When a fact could not be confirmed we leave it out or say that it is unconfirmed.
