Description

A slotted metal scoop with a wooden handle and brass band.

Context

Some feed scoops are slotted to allow corn, for instance to be spread for chickens. These narrower slots maybe for some other purpose. John Bartlett was born c. 1825 and is listed as being a scale beam maker and a japanner. By 1895 he advertised as making canisters, weighing machines and shop fittings.
