Description
C-18786
Assembled nine-piece collection of antique hand tools associated with corn husking, seed handling, and small-scale farm processing. The group includes a variety of wood-handled and metal implements designed for stripping husks, handling ears, and preparing seed corn, reflecting the transitional period between hand labor and mechanized agriculture. Notably, the black cast iron tool is an antique two-prong seeder, used for placing or guiding seed during planting. The remaining tools show a range of forms-curved blades, rollers, and handled implements-each purpose-built for repetitive farm tasks. Together, the set offers a strong visual and functional cross-section of late 19th- and early 20th-century rural toolmaking, with emphasis on durability, ergonomics, and direct hand use.
Condition varies across the group. All pieces show expected age-related wear including surface rust, patina, and wear to wooden handles. Leather components show dryness and wear. No modern repairs observed. Sold as a lot and as found.
Largest tool approx. 9" L
