Mill, FanningEntry/Object ID
2019.4.1Description
This is a fanning mill with a wood frame, metal screens and hardware, and metal wheels attached to the base to make it mobile. The fanning mill is a winnowing machine that separates the chaff, dust, weed seeds, dirt, stones, etc. from the grains that can be eaten. By removing the contaminents, the grains would preserve better.
