Antique Root-Heath Never Fail Cast Iron Corn Sheller, Husker Shucker 1904-1919

These are actually a corn sheller, (removes the corn kernels from the cob), but I noticed a lot of sellers call them a husker or shucker, (A husker or shucker is one that removes the husk, usually by hand, but there was a tool made that you held in your hand to slit the husk with).

Okay, trivia over.

Looks to be in good condition.
Other than turning the crank, it is un-tested by me.
These were manufactured between 1904 and 1919.
In 1904 The Root Brothers Co. became the Root-Heath Mfg. Co.
In 1919, another company was added, resulting in the Fate-Root-Heath Co.

There was another sheller made around this time with the Heath name, (also from Plymouth), and was called the Ideal.
