Cotton Gin (Wata-kuri-ki) Antique Tool * This item was found in the storehouse of my parents' home. * A few years ago, we used it with the children at the kindergarten to remove the seeds from the cotton plants we grew. We didn't get all the seeds out perfectly, but we got most of them, which was definitely easier than doing it by hand. * It also has a calming presence as an ornament. * Please check the size in the photos at the end (⁎ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈⁎) The cotton gin is a manual machine used to separate fibers and seeds from cotton. When you turn the handle, two rollers rotate, and when you pass the cotton through them, only the fibers pass between the rollers, and the seeds fall to the front. The cotton gin is much more efficient than removing cotton seeds by hand. cotton ginning machine Manual antique tool Wooden Roller type hand crank Cotton gin Showa retro Vintage vintage Wooden Rare Extremely rare Antique tool Shabby Old wood Old wood material Farm tool Antiques Flea market Ornament Object Antique Brocante Antique Japanese antique
