The Harrisburg Family Corn Sheller Company, Harrisburg PA, marketed a similar one patent 105,825 patented July 26, 1870, to W. A. Middleton. It was just a sheller no other uses.
H. S. Gilbert has the patent for the one shown above, it is a design patent and was marketed as a 7 in one tool, Wrench, Corn Sheller, Hammer, Tack Puller, Meat Beater and Plate Lifter. H. S. Gilbert Feed Store Chambersburg PA was also the main marketer of this one. Of course Chambersburg is right next to Haarrisburg. The corn sheller section is the same basic design, different number of teeth is about all.
The above info was found in Jim Moffet's book on corn shellers.
