1962 Press Photo A Late 1800's Twine Binder from Historical Society of Wisconsin

New York: Replacing the fatiguing task of reaping the crops by hand, the mechanical reaper was probably the most significant invention introduced into farming between 1830 and 1860. The twine binder shown in this photo from the State Historical Society of Wisconsin, pictures the machine used in 1890, which rapidly replaced the wire binder after 1880.

Photo is dated 1962.
