This lot features an antique primitive hay and straw cutter marked Mountville MFG. Co. Mountville PA. The chaff box or cutter was a simple but ingenious device for cutting straw chaff, hay, and oats into small pieces - before being mixed together with other forage and fed to horses and cattle. Apart from being more economical than previous methods of feeding, this aided the animal's digestion and prevented animals from rejecting any part of their food. the box is in good condition and all markings are clear. Great decor piece. Measures: 49" L x 29" H x 24" W
