Description
This antique kitchen implement is a double bean slicer, a tool historically used for processing green beans into thin strips, often found in Dutch and German households. The device features a wooden box-frame housing with two metal-lined apertures on the front panel designed to feed beans into the mechanism. An iron hand crank with a turned wooden handle is mounted on the side, driving a horizontal shaft with internal rotating blades. The base incorporates a vertical metal screw-clamp mechanism with a circular thumb-screw for securing the unit to a tabletop or work surface. The construction utilizes hardwood panels and early cast and forged iron mechanical parts. No maker marks, patent dates, or stamps are visible on the object.
