Johnston & Linihan "Gem Grain Grader," 1899-1916
Farmers used grain graders to clean seed saved for use in the next planting or sold to commercial seed companies. Farmers could purchase screens of different sizes to match small, medium, or large seeds, such as clover, oats, peas, and beans. The hand crank moved the screens and turned the fan blades that blew air, removing debris to ensure a clean and uniform seed crop.
