- Tobacco Spear, circa 1960 - Raising tobacco required significant human labor before mechanization. At harvest time, workers cut the leaves from Burley tobacco plants using special knives. They pierced the leaves with this conical-shaped metal spear affixed to the end of a stick. Then, after the leaves dried in the field, they moved the full sticks to tobacco barns to finish the curing process.
