Treasures you find that you have forgotten!!! Corn sheller

I was moving some stuff in the garage today and found this crank corn sheller hanging on the wall. Now the old timers moment. It has to have been hung up there in the last few years as the garage was rebuilt two years ago. I have no idea where it came from. My wife does not remember ever seeing it either.

It either has to have been restored or it never was used. There is zero rust on it anywhere. There is grease on the internal taper that the handle goes on. The threads on the bolts and handle do not have paint on them. I am thinking it was never mounted or used. I have been to a couple of old hardware store sales in the last few years. So maybe I bought it at one of them.

I was able to take it all apart for pictures with just my fingers. Nothing stuck anywhere. I really think it has not been used at all.

The Brand name appears to be " Never Fail"

We had one of these crank corn shellers that was used for chicken feed. It was mounted on a wooden box on legs that set about 3 feet tall. I know this one is not that one. My Aunt and her family have that one and use it regularly for their chickens.

I was looking for for one for the grand kids to use/play with. I guess I will have to build a box now. LOL

It still is a mystery where this came from. If it has much value I maybe better off to leave it in its "new" condition and find a well used one for the kids to play with.

So are these things of any value anymore??? Is this a brand anyone has heard of???

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o ... [Read Article]
