Name/TitleModel - Plough

About this objectA model of a Newcastle (?) plough with a beam, mainly horizontal but curving to the ground at the rear and then forward to support on the right side the mould board and shape. The beam is supported near the front by two wheels of different sizes (each with scraper), the larger being on the right. A coulter projects downward from above the beam on the left. A pair of handles project upwards and backwards from the beam. A small projection in front carries a chain with three links.
