Robert;
You have it exactly right---- a Hambar is a corn crib. One could see such corn cribs in corn growing areas in this country up until after WWII until newer processing
procedures came into practice. They were designed so that air could freely circulate around the cobs Thus drying them out and decreasing the chance of mould.
