A couple of our oldies. 

1917 Ford / Holmes 285
1922 Mack / Holmes Tilt-Bed Carrier

Beautiful restoration !

The Body Shop was HIckory 7-3081.  The House was MAyfair 7-8214

I would second the Boat house at Dis Springs.  Great all the time. Good selection. 
Also agree with you on Paddlefish. Not been back. 
If you want steak - STK at Dis Springs - expensive, but very good.

If you want fish in the area- about 1/2 mile south on 535 - Landrys Seafood. The best fish selection around. It’s right behind Bahama Breeze, which is also good. 

Simple but good food at Dis Springs - Splitsville or The Polite Pig. Both have walk-ins for outside seating. 
——- just my opinion

Sunny and warm !

Still restoring and preserving Holmes. 

Updated.
 

Still looking for spec sheets for models missing data, and a method to post multiple page spreadsheet with reference photos.

There haven’t been too many hits on this posting, but I’ve spent some time trying to organize the Holmes Models / Features into a spreadsheet. 

The attached is a screen capture of the current - PRELIMINARY - spreadsheet, but clipped a little to make it still viewable as a picture. 

 

The info is pretty self explanatory. The second column ‘Manual Spec Chk’ indicates models I still have manuals for, to verify the information. There are many I haven’t found yet. 
 

The Models are listed in numerical Model Number order - NOT in chronological order. 
 

I intend to add a column to the right that will reference photos of the units, or unique features that identify them.

 

CONSTRUCTIVE input is appreciated/accepted, as well and any additional specific model specs that you have, AND can also send documentation to support it. 
 

This forum only seems to allow photos to be attached to postings, so I’m still looking for a way to upload a .pdf of the file (Including supporting photos) to make it easier to view. 
 

If there is interest, I’ll continue to update it as it is improved - if there is no interest, it will remain as is.

We have one of the trailers...I have seen the unit Pearce have ....and have seen an ad for one more that was for sale.

 

Most of them have been scrapped due to age.And that is Johnny Grant from Holmes running the controls.

Thank you. 
 

Johnny looks a bit younger there.

Holmes also built a trailer that was the forerunner to today's rollback. They were built for only about two years and at that only something like 16 were ever built. Today we have one of only two known to still exist. I don't know the model number, though. 

 Very interested in seeing a picture of your trailer. Can you post it ?
