Description: |
The tool combines hammer, corn-sheller, boot jack, pot-lifter, tack claw, and wrench functions.
An example matching the patent drawing and marked "A. ISKE'S PAT" is shown in Jim Moffet's book, "The Hand Held Corn Sheller .. "
A 2nd option comes from a DATAMP user: "The Iske Corn Sheller was produced, but not with the swing jaw, which probably proved too breakable. Instead, he made the stem of the bootjack into a teardrop shape so the corn cob could be inserted at the large end but gradually stepped down to get the last kernels. On this one, the screwdriver is damaged." |
