Smile R Boby Winnowing seed dressing machine





Robert Boby of Bury St Edmunds winnowing machine. conserved in original condition with original parts.

ROAD WHEELS NOT INCLUDED!!!

Reluctant sale original hand driven converted to belt drive during its working live. fantastic addition for 4" or 6" traction engine to drive at shows. Sold as seen. Conserved and preserved, NOT RESTORED. in completely original condition just as it ended work. Used on a farm for its entire life near Colchester Can be collected from Loddon Norfolk or Wansford Cambridgeshire.

A unique opportunity to obtain a valuable East Anglian farming history. Reluctant sale but not displayed since 2011 and funds will go towards new project.
