Hello and happy Thursday. I want to show you an Early Cotton Press today that was reportedly made in 1798. This one is located on Highway 38 in Latta, SC. If you enlarge the photo you can read about this one's history. Way back in the day (as they say), you would use the Cotton Press to compact a bale of cotton for storage and shipping. We look back at those days with a kind of romanticism, but clearly those days were extremely hard on people - and oxen and mules.
I hope you had an easy Thursday. Thanks for looking. See you tomorrow.
