[AJD] 1-B Corn Sheller

It's late in the day, I'm tired and getting older every week so help me out.

Is the 1B wooden or steel? I can't recall and I can't see up to where I have one of 
the shellers on display high up in the show room. I have decent originals of both and 
perhaps even original color plates/pics and could take pics if that would help.
