Truly Collector Grade! ACME Potato Implement Company, Corn Hand Held Seeder. Excellent condition for the age with Outstanding Graphics. This still has the canister seed holder cap with ACME Potato Implement Company Registered Trade Mark, Traverse City Michigan. Wood Handle is marked ACME ROTARY AUTOMATIC & ACME Trademark & Hibbard Spencer Bartlett Chicago, Ill. Makes a great display piece. Hibbard, Spencer, Bartlett Company (1882-1962) were leading hardware distributors for many decades eventually introducing the “True Value” brand of tools in the 1930’s before later selling that brand and closing in the 1960’s. Approx: 33.5″ H x 12″ D x 5″ W (metal canister), 5.5 lbs We’ve sold a few of these garden seeders over the years, but not seen one as nice as this with nicely defined graphics. Most of these seeders were heavily used and lost definition to graphics and had much more wear to parts. Great collectible. It has moderate wear from age, but overall really nice.
