The apple was a staff of early American life, Every homeowner grew apple trees, each of which could produce up to two tons of fruit each season, peeling, coring and slicing all that fruit took days on end, that's why an old tool like this one would come in handy..... 

This piece is a vintage 1800's "Genuine Scotts Rotary Knife Peach & Apple Parer", Sinclair Scott made canning and kitchen equipment up until the 1890's, Then entered the automobile mobile manufacturing business......

This piece has a lovely, rustic patina and its fully intact, we tried cranking it and it turns freely but may require some lubricating in the future, we also have the original box, which is a real find......
