These men are shown shelling corn by hand with a spring sheller southeast of Holyoke, probably in the early 1900s. Spring shellers have a plate under spring pressure to hold the ears against a rotating toothed disc which loosens and separates the kernels from the cob. Shelled corn drops out the bottom, and the cob is spit out through an opening at the opposite end from where it’s originally fed in. — Source: Phillips County Museum
