    1. If you look at it from above, you see a couple of compartments and holes. Put the potatoes in the upper compartment and the really small potatoes fall through the holes to be sold as small ones. The remaining ones are big enough to sell as large potatoes.

    1. I had no idea what it was. A volunteer from the museum saw me looking at it and explained it to me.
