The
Thompson Apple Parer / Corer / Sectioner
The Thompson may not be the rarest of peelers,
but it is certainly one of the most graphic and highly sought after. I
attempted to make these look common a few years ago by buying, selling, or trading
off 5 of them over a two year span. It was an amazing string of coincidences
with a large amount of luck mixed in. I actually got two of them in one
day. I drove 8 hours to get one and then traded it for a sewing machine
the same day.
Most patented apple peelers worked with gears and cranks and various designed
cutters and knives, but with this one you lift the arm on the geared arch, load
it up, and then swing the arm down to quickly peel the apple and at the bottom the cutter
sections and cores it for you. Quick, fast and no fuss, and just a little muss.
A neat piece! Good + . . . . .$1250.00 SOLD!
Buchi Apple Parer
This is a hard to
find patented apple parer. It is much heavier duty than many of those
you see. There is no rust and no pitting. A nice one!
In operation, when the crank is turned table rotates a full circle and then
the kickoff is activated and kicks the apple into the waiting bucket. Good + . . . . .$395.00 SOLD!

Kitchen Collectible An original, not one of
the current green knockoffs sold as such. Tune it up and use it, or display as a true
antique and piece of Americana. Very nice.Good + . . . . . $50.00 SOLD!!
.75
Saratoga Potato Chip Slicer The Saratoga
Chip is world famous. Google has entry after entry related to a search for
that, and those links talk a lot about George Clum the Indian who supposedly
first invented the potato chip in the 1850's in Saratoga Springs NY.
Information about this .75 potato slicing device was a bit more elusive and hard
to find. The patent was issued on June 18th 1887. The info cast onto
the frame says it was made in New Britain CT. The best info is that it was
.75 and sold by agents. I wonder if the original Indian inventor, George
Clum was getting any sort of a kickback?.To use, simply load a potato or other suitable vegetable onto the rotating arm, and go. I have heard that this is going to be the next "thing" after the craze for kettle corn finally fades in to the haze of rancid smelling burned oil with sugar mixed in. Let them eat chips.
Fine . . . . .$100.00 SOLD!!

Sinclair Scott Apple / Peach Parer
The Sinclair Scott may not be
the rarest parer to be found, but it is certainly one of the prettiest,
with great looking hearts cast into the wheel. The design of the fork
and the blades were made to work for peaches, which must have been a pretty
messy job. Buy it to use if you want to make the pie-making chore easier
on yourself and don't want one of those new overpriced ones you see advertised
for sale in the fancy-dancy kitchenware catalogs.Good . . . . .$75.00 / Each SOLD!!

Reading Hardware Apple Parer Mfg. By Harbister Bros. This is one of the first parers that was produced and distributed by the Reading Hardware Co. The history of this company is described in great detail in Don Thornton's comprehensive new book called Apple Parers. The unique and unusual feature with this parer is the double turntable, and return feature of this mechanism. Every aspect of this example is proper including the fragile kickoff, the paring arm, and all of the castings. There is no rust and no pitting. A nice one! In operation, when the crank is turned table rotates, first in one direction, and then reverses to go in the other, all the while peeling the apple before the kickoff is finally activated and kicks the apple into the waiting bucket.
Good + . . . . . SOLD!

Reading 78 Apple Parers
Common but
durable, the Reading 78 is the old standby for paring apples. One would
wonder why they ever had to make another one after this one came out it was such
a good design. In fact, they are still making them today. But these
are vintage.
Good . . .
. .$50.00 BOTH SOLD!
