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!

2 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.

2 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.

Lathe
Type Potato Slicer / Chip Maker
These are usually associated with potatoes
but I imagine could be used to thin slice other vegies 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!
