Gathering Bowl
Add to SetSummary
Life on a farm involves many chores, such as taking care of chickens and gathering eggs. Eggs are important to farm families not only as food -- they can be sold for extra money. This wooden bowl, used to collect eggs in the late 1800s, has flared sides that created additional surface area for eggs to rest on and reduced damage to their fragile shells.
