I had a juicer and a manual ice crusher. Neither were "vintage", but they were collectible. I gave them to a friend as a gift for their 50's looking diner kitchen.

I have an old ice cream scoop that I love because it was my grandmother's. I'd like to pick up a "new" old manual mixer and grater.

Not too many, although this is one area I'd like to pick up a few items from. I have a canning item, crumb don't even know what its called. You put it over the jar and pour your jam/relishes etc. into your jars. Its hand made and I picked it up for 50¢ at a yard sale.

I have a canning jar gripper that we found in our basement when we purchased our home. I cleaned it up and use it for canning.

I do want a butter churn (glass one) and an egg beater. My dil collects old vintage kitchen gadgets, so usually when I find them I give them to her as a gift.

I love vintage gadgets though.

Do I count?

I have an old egg beater that was my mom's. But don't really have anything else old except a bread box. I saw the same bread box recently in a catalog and they wanted gobs of money for it, I wonder how much it cost when my mom bought hers (that I now have).

I have one of those old aluminum bread boxes, the aluminum spice rack set and a set of the old aluminum canisters but I don't use them right now - Mel hates them so I just have them stored downstairs. We have an old set of kitchen scales and an old measuring cup and Mel's old boyscout mess kit.

LOL lacyj, you and me both ok! :mwhistle:

well I have canning equipment, the jar gripper CJ mentioned and I use a wide mouth funnel for filling the jars, I have a Foley Food mill which makes applesauce as fast as you could ever want, no peeling or coring first.

Cook apples ina TINY bit of water, then run them thru this hand cranked mill/seive thingy and the sauce comes out the bottom leaving peels, stems, cores etc on top.

LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!

And my cherry pitter is another handy little thing for canning and freezing that isn't an antique precisely but the design hasn't changed in a century.

as I'm doing up the apples for the crisp, I realize one more vintage type thing I own, and again, it's related to dealing with harvest. Very old design, but I bought it from Pampered Chef brand new a few years back.

It's an apple corer, peeler and slicer. It spikes the apple then turns it, onto a peeler thingy and rotates it while slicing, peeling and coring.

A spiral of peeled cored apple comes off in seconds. One slice down the apple and the spiral is instant apple rings.

Needs hand washing but is one of the more handy devices from the Victorian Era.

I first bumped into one at my sister's place where she had made a deal with bil, her dh, that she would make pie anytime he sliced her up a bunch of peeled cored apples (she hates this little task, and so do I)

well her dh sees this at a friends house, buys one and my sister turned into the pie making machine. LOL they loved it, and my sister's use convinced me, it's useful.

If you see one, and you cope with a lot of apples for crisp etc or pies, it's well worth getting.
