A ploughing match is a contest in which participants each plough a section of a field. Nowadays there are usually classes for horse-drawn ploughs and for tractor ploughing. Points are awarded for straightness and neatness of the resulting furrows.

In very good condition without big dents, breaks or damage. Some very minor scratches, dings and surface marks. It has minor tarnish but should polish up very nicely if desired. Measures approximately 9 inches tall.
