    I think it was used to get wheat samples from the stem ? That's my guess, looks home made. I did get so many other items, but it is so difficult to keep up to all the social groups with pictures etc. I will try to get all me unknown items together and post at one time, just so many around here mixed in with boxes of stuff.

      It is an early kind of berries raking/harvesting tool, maybe home made :-)

      Berries may very well be right. Home made hand harvester. Would take a week per tree, but with this clever invention of the period you could pick hand full screen before you had to empty it into the main bag. It was a large property and I didn't get to check out the hidden sugar shack that was there, just all the main barns and drive sheds. I think they are doing soya in this Century but I imagine in those days there was only one house for miles, and everything in between was farm fresh foods for the gatherers. And you could shoot anything to eat, and nobody said a thing. Could give some meat to the local government that resided over this region of Ontario Canada if it was still Ontario ? Thank you

      Not for tree fruits, but for bush berries, not so Long to harvest for domestic use ;-)

      A couple came by yesterday and said that it was used for blue berries?
