First one I've ever come across. Cast Iron. I was told it was from the late 1800's. It's a harder to find, ANTIQUE Industrial Apple Peeler/Corer ? It stands approximately 16 inches tall. From the handle to the other side, approximately 23 inches when it has been turned in. It's not my area of expertise BUT I absolutely love stuff like this. So much character and history. The photos should speak for the description. And, the numbers, letters, name etc. that is embossed or in raised lett...ering should be readable in some of the photos. The scale shows it weighing about 23 pounds and 8 ounces. Different shipping options available. Low starting bid. No reserve. Thanks for your interest and looking :) Pictures taken of all sides/angles. Selling as I purchased.Update for 8/20/19. I decided to google how these work because I am not knowledgeable of these at all. But, I think it's such a great piece. I went and purchased some apples (I've been wanting some anyway ;) But, I placed the apple on it and the piece went back and held like it was suppose to. But, I'm not sure if it went back far enough and not sure if it is exactly lined up like it's suppose to be. Because the peeler just went up against the apple a little, and as you will see in a couple of the pictures, removed a few small places where it went up against it. But, the majority didn't peel. AND, I think it's because, in the video, the person that was restoring one said it has to be properly aligned. The peeler, the corer and the piece that the apple goes on have to be lined up with each other. It did remove the core though. Not sure that it was exactly centered. But did make a hole near the middle. I'm adding some pictures. I also noticed someone has added a nail to secure something near the handle. It looks like they put it through and just bent it around the piece. Hard to explain, so hopefully, in one of the photo's I'm adding, you can see this. It does turn but is hard to turn at times. Maybe because of this? In my opinion, I think after it is properly aligned, that it might be a rare historical treasure to have that would work. But, I do not know for sure. So please look at all the photos and please be your own judge because this is the first one I've ever come across. And is definitely not my area of expertise. But, I love it. It would be great to display as a historical piece at an apple orchard, farm, etc. Thanks for your interest and looking. I added 4 more photos. So maybe all 12 will help speak for the description and condition. I found it interesting in the video that the man even welded a piece back that had been broken and was able to have some parts made for the one he had. A really neat piece of machinery. Especially if you watch the video of how it works.
