Description

This hand-crank corn sheller has a sturdy wooden frame and a metal case. Whole corn cobs were fed into the top hole and pulled between two toothed wheels spinning in opposite directions of each other, which removes the kernels off of the cob. The kernels would fall through a screen into a container. Then the cob is ejected through a hole in the front of the machine.
