DescriptionA corn sheller was used to separate kernels of corn from the cob. A cob of corn would be placed on the top. While someone rotated the handle, a blade would spin and separate the kernels.
DescriptionThis oyster knife would have been used to shuck oysters. The tip of the knife is pointed so that it can pry open the tightly closed shell, but is dull enough so it won’t cut the oyster’s flesh.
