………………….”WHAT IS THIS?”……….When Jac’s mom moved in with us many years ago she brought with her many old gadgets and kitchen utensils. Most of them have been sitting in the back of a draw, and have never been used. I don’t think even her mom used them…..At least I never saw her using any of them……I was going through the draw looking for a potato masher, and came across this curious thing…. It has “CHOPPER” engraved on the stainless steel handle. There are three blades at the bottom. The center blade goes up and down when you push the yellow handle. As you can see there is a spring controlling the center blade…..So…..I know from the inscription it was used to chop something…..but what???? There are quite a few mystery items in the draw that have never been used, and I guess Jac didn’t have the heart to throw them out when her mom passed…..so there they sit……..I won’t through them out either.
I think I found it on eBay – item number: 364199207591 It’s a Vintage 2 Hand Held Foley Chopper Stainless Steel Blades Yellow Wooden Handle. An interesting gadget!
Stay safe in this cold!
Yes that’s it….I guess it still does the job, but I don’t think the blades on mine are sharp enough…..LOL
