Looks like i can’t go to a boot sale and come back empty handed. Someone will know what it is . I think it might be for derris dust lime something you don’t want on your crop. Part of the mechanism is missing to shake the boxes

Probably for spreading DDT on a very wide-spaced crop. Possibly sugar beet or turnips, but I’m only guessing. It looks like there should be something to rattle the boxes to persuade the dust to come out as well.

Well done for finding something as unusual as this.
