Description

"Hand corn planter - made of wood with iron and bladed of steel - two handles and pocket for corn. Price $.89" is what the card says. (This may not be the right planter) This one is 32.75" long with a wooden handle on top, and a circular metal bin to hold the seed. (13.7 " in circumference) The seed flows from the circular bin down wedge shaped chute and is released by leaning the planter forward. This would trigger a lever that opened both the circular chamber and the planter at the bottom of the chute.
