Description

Universal #1 meat grinder with a single combination grinder blade (coarse and medium). Made of cast iron; the (nickel?) plating is mostly worn off. Manufactured by Landers, Frary & Clark of New Britain, Connecticut, probably beween 1900 and 1910 (the patent dates cast into the body are 1897 and 1899). Used by Marie (Wester) Hoerres, mother of Donna Asher. This donation includes two additional grinder blades which do not fit the Universal #1.
