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"
Shows little/or zero use from the sheller side
Top view.
Side opened up. I removed the tension spring to do this.
Completely taken apart. Nothing shows wear or where it has been repainted.
Made by Root-Heath Mfg.
Plymouth O. USA
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 - Restoring a John Deere 2010 Diesel Tractor - by Jim Nielsen. Following seven years working in California's Silicon Valley, my wife, baby son and I moved back to Australia to retire. We bought a small 'farm' of about 50 acres near Bendigo, in the state of Victoria. I soon found that it would be very useful to have a tractor around the place for things such as grading our long drive and brush-hogging the fields. I was also embarking on planting 1000 eucalyptus trees, and hence I would need a ripper, small disk plow, sprayer etc. to get these things accompli
