Domestic object - Greta HOGART Collection - 3181 Harper Food Mincer
The Harper 3181 Food Mincer was manufactured in England and designed for domestic kitchens in the mid-20th century. These devices allowed users to manually mince meats, vegetables, and other foods before the widespread use of electric appliances. Harper was a well-known British manufacturer of kitchen tools, and their tinned food mincers were valued for their durability and effectiveness. The mincer represents an era of hands-on food preparation and is an example of practical kitchen technology from the time.This item is a vintage Harper Food Mincer, Model No. 3181, housed in its original red and black branded cardboard box. The food mincer itself is made of heavy-duty metal with a polished finish. It features a wide hopper at the top for feeding meat or vegetables, a robust handle for manual turning, and a clamp mechanism for securing it to a countertop or table. The box displays the Harper logo and an illustration of the mincer, advertising its use for home food preparation.Box: Printed with “Harper Food Mincer No. 3181,” “Made in England,” and “Fully Tinned.” Mincer: Stamped with “3181 HARPER” on the body, and likely additional markings on handle or clamp sections (not fully visible in photo).household item -
