Had a similar that dated to the late 1800's. Most aren't worth too much but cool looking contraptions nonetheless. Last edited: Aug 19, 2018 Upvote 0

The handle is still nice and solid. On the older peelers, shellers, and grinders the handles are almost always cracked. I would guess 30s/40s/. Upvote 0
