Please be sure you vote in the poll (double check your selection is displayed in bold type) and also post your answer in this thread. Those who guess correctly will receive a lamb...

This apparatus is made of wood with some metal parts and stands approximately 54 inches high. The year of manufacture was not indicated.

What do you think it is?

Thinking too technically could cost you a lamb Jess!

Perhaps the word "sheller" might in this case mean removing the corn kernels from the cob. But then again, maybe this is a choice I made up and I didn't think it through like I should have.

But I should also point out that I live in the heart of "corn country" and I've heard people use the word "shelling" when referring to the process of removing corn kernels from the cob. I've also heard it called "kerneling". Removing the husks is called "husking" or "shucking". And this is coming from a CITY BOY!!!

Okay, I've been studying the picture for a while now, and I keep trying to "picture" each of those tasks being done on that contraption , but I've only managed to confuse myself more!

So I'm just guessing:

carpenter's tool

And I'm wondering about the stuff in the background .... are they clues .... or maybe they have nothing to do with it! I can see where coming up with the "wrong answers" would be difficult, David. You do a great job

Thanks!
