Peeling Machine, Circa 1920

Historical information

Interior surfaces are abrasive, rather like coarse sandpaper. Turning the handle rotates the potatoes or other vegetables, causing them to rub against the surfaces and so losing their skin.

Physical description

'Pronto' potato or other vegetable, peeler. Burgundy enamel tin on the outside, grey abrasive interior surface.
