Found this in an old shed.  Not sure what it is and was hoping someone did.

Are you near a farm?  What part of the country?  Was it stored with other items?  If so, what (Ex:  kitchen items, farm items, etc.)

Three things come to mind....

Is the middle blade sharp or blunt?

I am in Texas and in a rural place.  It was in a small shed with many different other things really.  A lot of jars, bug sprayers, knives, all kinds of stuff.  Nothing that seems related to it though.

The blad in the middle is dull and I dont know if it was ever sharper than what it is at all.  Does not look like it had been sharpened on.  just looks like a piece of metal cut to size and used with its natural sharpness. Thanks for the reply.

Looks like for making cream corn !! The first set of cutters burst the kernels and the other cuts it from the cob !!

Mart, that is exactly what I was thinking if it was for kitchen applications....cre am corn maker!!!  The dull straight blade would get all the juice and remaining kernels!

If it was for ranching....for a household it could have been used to separate broom corn.

(Mart and I are in Texas as well!)
