Cool sheller- a little out of our normal fields of interest.
What types of old tools and wrenches are you interested in?

I have one in a wood frame, and a couple more around here.   Used the first one to shell corn for the chickens, about 50 years ago.

Welcome to Tool Talk!

I am a Disston collector to start. Other than saws I collect anything that can measure. I am an engineer so anything along the engineering lines peaks my interest. My favorite piece I have found is a BridgePort TieClip...I had to take out my eye loop to read the bridgeport writing and the lady had no idea what it was!

I think it is being calculated by USPS so unless it has an incorrect weight then whatever you are seeing is the correct estimate.

One of my nephews decided to try out my grandfathers on a *freshly boiled* ear of corn at a cookout once. His reward was learning how to disassemble it and clean it ;P
