Well I hit a few thrift stores again
« on: November 13, 2009, 06:36:08 PM »
First item was yesterday, tin lined and almost unused $4.99, the enemalware one is now on permant home kitchen duty, spout is small enough to also make a good hat steamer unlike my enemalware one:





Found this really cool pastry cutter for $1.99 today at another Goodwill, turns out it's older than I thought and unused so it's going to a friends collection, Marked Hercules Food Service Equip BKYN NY and appears to be stamped with individual stamps, not one big one:



My helper hates to see it go I guess:



At a Consignment store for $9.50 I found a cast iron framed potatoe ricer, same friend wants it because I already have one and she don't, so it's hers, she finds me good stuff:





Found this nice veggie/meat chopper for $4.00, a little clean-up and some work with the diamond stone it ought to be a good one, touched it a bit to see, should be able to make it shaving sharp:

I swear my grandmother had that same pastry cutter and ricer.   Neat finds.  Occassionally I wander through the shops looking for a large spoon with a strawberry on the handle, all metal.  my grandmother had this spoon, called by all as "the berry spoon"  she used it for everything.   Recipes were written with 3 heaping berry spoons, 2 level berry spoons.   Gave me fits trying to make the conversion.   After gaining several pounds of eating not quite right recipes, I think the heaping was 1/2 cup and level 1/4 cup.  Things taste correct anyway.   Great finds!
