2	Thu Nov 5 08:12 PM by Mike Perry Again, this is NOT "collecting" tobaacco leaves! This is a transplanter. We used to call it a "tobacco setter." We used this to set transplanted tobacco plants out in the field in spring. I would be happy to tell you what all these things are that are mislabeled if you would like :) My email is starmanva@aol.com. Thanks!
