Black Hawk Corn Sheller

Description

This exceptional late 19th-century "Black Hawk" corn sheller is a wonderful piece of classic American agricultural history.   The mechanical component is constructed entirely of rugged, heavy-duty cast iron and features it's original curved hand crank with a weathered wooden handle. What makes it truly significant, is the fact that it's still mounted to the original wooden catchment box, which showcases beautiful finger-jointed corners. Today, this complete unit stands as a phenomenal rustic statement piece. Time Period: Late 19th Century (Patented July 23, 1889) Origin Country: United States (USA)
