This is a hand operated seed cleaner. Seed is placed in a hopper at the top of the frame and falls onto a wire screen, which, by means of a crank slides up and down on six rows of metal discs known as collars. The hopper is adjustable by means of a screw. The frame carries a cast iron plate inscribed 'R Boby Bury St Eds Patent'. It was used on the donor's farm at Micheldever and dates to some time before 1914.
