Sunshine stripper harvester

This stripper harvester was manufactured by H. V. McKay's Sunshine Harvester Factory in Victoria in 1911. In 1907 the Sunshine Harvester Factory was at the centre of the Conciliation and Arbitration Court case which set the first federally arbitrated wages standard in Australia (now known as the Harvester Judgement).
