Apple
Parer / Corer / Sectioner
The
Coy is a very early and primitive looking apple parer / sectioner / corer that
at first glance looks to be homemade, but is actually a well known patented
apple parer dating from the mid 19th century. This was a time when apples were a very important part of American culture and diet. Storing and preserving apples for use throughout the winter was a very important part of early America, and the development and inventions surrounding this endeavor make for an interesting story.
This one seems operational, is complete, and in nice condition but I did not give it a test drive and it may need adjustment to make it work like it should. A neat piece!

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.

Reading 78 Apple Parer
Common but
durable, the Reading 78 is the old standby for paring apples. One would
wonder why the 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.
Note: The parer on the right is SOLD
The one on the left is available---the casting on the top is cracked.

came in all different designs and sizes. These are referred to as
lathe types. They are Baystates by Goodell.
Lathe

This one is a larger
version of the regular Baystate and is known as one of the best and most reliable
users.
Advance"
Lathe Type Apple Parer
This one is
by Reading and they tried to incorporate every feature from every other parer
into one. It works really well.
Lathe
Type Apple Parer
This one is known
as the little giant. It has features and performs tasks much larger ones
claim, and hence the name "Little Giant".
Lathe
Type Potato Slicer / Chip Maker
These
are usually associated with potatoes but I imagine could be used to thin slice
other veggies as well. Take a look at the other pics to see the job it
can do. There is maker info in the casting, and it says the patent for this
neat idea was pending to warn off the competition. That is interesting, as it
is not one pictured in Thornton's book on peelers and yet there are others.
I guess it did not scare them off. A neat Piece!
