About the Item

Early 20th Century Folk Art Mechanical Mill Model Made from old, stamped cigar boxes and wooden sections of pine, this charming and well-crafted piece of English folk-art depicts a working flour mill model. The top section/funnel is open and the wheel spins making the four peds move up and down when turned, if flour was passed through this mechanism it would work. The door painted draw at the base opens to reveal a compartment of sorts. This item was possibly used as a functioning piece of kitchen equipment, but we are unsure as it could just be a model of sorts. Nevertheless, a very unusual and one of piece of folk art. A video of this item is on our social media page if you wish to see it in action.
