Antique Universal No. 3 Manual Hand-Crank Food Grinder

Overview

This item is an antique Universal No. 3 manual hand-crank food chopper and meat grinder, originally manufactured by Landers, Frary & Clark (L.F.&C.) based out of New Britain, Connecticut. First introduced in 1900, the "No. 3" designated the largest and most heavy-duty size variant in their legendary domestic lineup. Built to last for generations, it is constructed from solid, heavy-duty cast iron and features its original wooden-handle crank arm and intact table-clamp base. Today, these pieces are highly sought after both as functional tools for processing meat, vegetables, and grains, and as charming rustic decor for farmhouse-style kitchens

Features:

• Heavy-Duty Cast Iron Construction: Engineered from robust, solid cast metal designed to withstand immense pressure and handle heavy-duty kitchen processing tasks without cracking or bending. 
• Integrated Countertop Clamp Base: Features an adjustable, fully intact screw-clamp mounting mechanism that secures the unit firmly to the edge of any table, island, or countertop for optimal leverage and maximum stability during manual crank operation. 
• Ergonomic Wooden-Grip Handle: Equipped with a long-reach manual crank arm featuring its original smooth, turned-hardwood handle grip to deliver comfortable, fluid rotation and reduce hand strain while processing dense foods
