This authentic instrument consists of two hollow brass tubes fitted together. The inner tube turns by means of the handle. It has three elongated openings. The use of the stick was simple: it was pushed deep into the grain and the inner tube was filled through the openings. This inner tube was then turned to lock the grain inside the stick. The stick was then pulled from the grain and emptied in order to inspect it's contents. This stick was in use up to the 1970s by inspectors working in silo of the former Grain Elevator Company in the Maas harbour in Rotterdam. The brass has become patinated over time and excessive use. Polished to a shine, it will be a striking piece in any interior!
