sought-after ! Universal Food Chopper- makeshift handle. Please see photos also

Food chopper has never been used. Comes with 2 different grinders. The handle is missing. The Universal Food Chopper was first sold by L.F. &C. in 1897, and proved to be so in-demand that the company still offered it in its catalog over sixty years later. It was marketed as a device that not only ground meat, but also processed vegetables. In a 1955 address to an audience in Connecticut the company's then chairman of the board remarked that, with the introduction of the Universal Food Chopper to American kitchens in the late 1800. The number 2 on the device referred to the size of the grinder, with the 3 model being the largest for heavy-duty use and the 00 model the smallest. Made of cast-iron by L.F. &C. in recent Britain, Connecticut many of these rugged grinders have survived to the present day, outliving the company who made them; L.F. &C. ended its 102 year run in 1965.
