Vintage manual handheld planter, an essential agricultural tool from the early to mid-20th century designed to allow farmers to plant seeds or distribute fertilizer without constant bending. Often referred to as a "jab" or "stab" planter, this device features a pointed metal cone that creates a hole in the soil when pressed down, while the top-mounted lever mechanism releases a metered amount of seed or granules from the reservoir. This specific model is constructed of durable galvanized steel and iron with a weathered red painted finish. Its condition is fairly well-preserved for its age, showing significant authentic patina, surface rust, and paint loss that highlights its history as a hardworking field tool. The mechanical lever and internal springs appear intact. Dimensions: 90cm (h)
