General Auction including Antiques & Collectables, Gold & Silver (14% Buyers Commission)
A trio of vintage agricultural poultry equipment items, comprising two rectangular hopper feeders and one cylindrical gravity-fed drinker. Each piece is constructed from galvanised metal. The two feeders feature an angled front design with internal perforated trays. One feeder bears a small white adhesive inventory label printed with 1931. The drinker consists of a cylindrical reservoir with a conical top and a fixed top handle, designed to sit within a circular base tray. These items are characteristic of mid-20th-century poultry farming equipment and are similar in design to those produced by manufacturers such as Little Giant or Behrens. No maker’s marks or embossed labels are visible on the exterior surfaces.
Condition report:
All items exhibit signs of heavy surface oxidation, pitting, and localised rust along the seams and edges consistent with age and previous outdoor agricultural use. The galvanised finish has a weathered patina throughout.
