Before kitchen gadgets needed batteries, chargers, or an instruction manual, there was this.
This antique Gardner can opener features a long metal mechanism with a worn black wooden handle. The metal head is marked GARDNER CAN OPENER,� and the mechanism carries early patent markings. Its honest wear, oxidation, and old utilitarian construction make it especially appealing as a piece of early kitchen history.
A great display piece for a primitive kitchen collection, general store vignette, or collection of antique culinary tools.
Condition: Antique condition with oxidation, rust, scratches, finish loss, and substantial wear from age and use. Wooden handle has visible wear. Sold as a collectible/display object; functionality has not been guaranteed. Please review all photographs.
