Antique General Store Primitive Tin Flour Bin Sifter 26” Tall

Description

Large GENERAL STORE tin flour dispenser bin.
This item would have sat on a general store counter. The seller would fill it with flour, the customer would turn the wooden knob to sift the flour and then open the lower drawer to scoop out the flour to purchase.
The inside of this dispenser is fairly clean, there are some rust spots inside as shown in one of the pictures. The sifter mechanism is intact and does easily turn. There are some dings, dents and scratches on the outside but overall in good condition for it's age. The bottom does have a crack in the wood base and there are some dents in the metal around the wood base.
Please see the photos for additional details.
