The Birdsell Manufacturing Company

The Birdsell Clover Huller was invented and perfected by John Comly Birdsell, while he was a farmer in Monroe County, New York.[1][23] He was granted a patent for this invention in 1855. In 1864 Mr. Birdsell’s factory in New York burned to the ground. He then moved west and settled in South Bend. Mr. Birdsell occupied a building on the West Race of the St. Joseph River and his patents and business grew rapidly. Mr. Birdsell and his sons, Varnum, Joseph, Byron and John Comley, incorporated the company. In 1870, a five-story brick factory was constructed and at the time was the largest factory building in South Bend.

In 1887 the Birdsell company began to manufacture farm wagons. In a short amount of time, the Birdsell wagon sold as well as the Birdsell Clover Huller. The Birdsell Clover Huller was used in every civilized nation of the world. Dealerships were set up to sell the clover huller in Great Britain, France, Italy, Germany, Russia and other countries.

It was displayed at the St. Louis World's Fair.
