Descriptive InformationCotton gin made by John Walker and used by the Walker Sisters when the photograph was taken. The basket of white oak splits was also made by John Walker. The portion of a horseshoe in front of the basket was later picked up... It was shaped so it could be used as a dog, used in laying flooring. Rollers made of hickory, the rest of the gin constructed of oak. Three people are required to operate it... one to feed the cotton and one to turn each of the rollers.Cotton Gin; Walker Sisters Place, III-A-Hse-12167, History - Artifacts
