Patent No. 356323A: Machine For Picking And Separating Hops

January 18, 2015 By Jay Brooks

patent-logo
Today in 1887, US Patent 356323 A was issued, an invention of Franklin Leonard, for his “Machine for Picking and Separating Hops.” There’s no Abstract, and the description is hard to read, as well, but it’s a “new and improved Machine for Picking and Separating Hops from the Vines.”
