One of Phillip Islands earliest industries was chicory farming. The first kiln was constructed in 1870. The chicory devil, with its unique shape and design, was a tool specifically developed to dig out chicory roots. It was originally designed by Duncan McGregor. This chicory devil was handmade by Dinney Justice in the late 1800's.Handmade wrought iron chicory devil.phillip island, tool, chicory, kiln, chicory devil, wrought iron
