Could very well be from that age. <br> Most of the places today that use sliced veggies use an electric slicer <br> because most of the help cannot be trusted with a sharp bladed knife... <br> And because they can slice them paper thin and make one &quot;tomato*&quot; last <br> all day!!!! <br> tomato* - in the past this was a well grown fruit which would be grown

My wife loves to grow cherry tomatos. <br> We munch on those for three months of the year. <br> I am a big beefsteak tomato kinda guy nyself. <br> And yes, standard tomatos compare badly with the real thing.

I bet you about puke when you get one at a restaurant.

Hmmm...never thought there would be a call for that, but I <br> just tried it and it works well.

Yes, defintely a tomato slicer. Found it on the internet once I knew <br> what it was called (not easy, though. Most hits on &quot;tomato slicer&quot; <br> return fancy serrated knives or electric slicers.) <br> If they are, indeed, from my dad's old snack shop (which he sold <br> before I was sentient), it means I've been pushing them aside while

It's a tomato slicer. I have one and use it - nice even slices, <br> the little saw blades work really well on tough skinned or soft. <br> Rinses off, no rust. Tried it to slice butter, worked well if the <br> temperature was just right - very, very cold.

Problem is the side rails. The object being sliced <br> can't be very large. <br> --- <br> Good point. It might work on a potato, but it might be awkward getting <br> started.

Looks like a vegetable slicer. Used to cut tomato, onion, and such into <br> even slices faster than a single blade.

Patent 721,860 from 1903 is a rolling cabinet with dimensions similar to <br> 1786. Each has a cabinet below a metal tub. <br> You would put an oil or electric lamp in the cabinet to warm the tub for <br> raising dough. Then you could store your loaves in the cabinet with ice <br> in the tub. <br> The patented cabinet had a multipurpose wooden cover to allow kneading.
