Grater - Schroeter Brothers - Revolving
GR66 This is a wonderful example of Victorian engineering, the Schroeter Brothers Hardware Company, Improved Grater 1000, in Excellent condition. Schroeter Brothers Hardware had a series of revolving graters in progressively larger sizes – the 1000 is a large counter top model. The top does have a small repair that has been made as shown in the photographs. The crank and grater drum assembly turns freely and would still work as a greater. Advertisements for the smaller 250 model state that “It can be used for grating potatoes, cheese, crackers, cocoanut, horseradish, bread, turnips, carrots, and many other vegetables”. This grater displays beautifully and would look great as an accent piece in any room. The grater stands 12” high with a width of 7” and a depth of 12 1/2”. The grating drum has a diameter of 6 3/4”. Revolving graters like this are very difficult to find and a specimen like this can hold it's own in any collection. |

Spice Set
SS07 This is a beautiful example of an early spice box in Excellent condition. With it's asphaltum paint and gold stenciling this box presents wonderfully. The box is constructed with a hinged lid on either side of the handle that can be lifted to reveal separate compartments. The six compartments are labeled Nutmegs, Cinnamon, Cloves, Allspice, Mustard, Ginger. The details on this spice box are very nice with even the handle having the lightest touch of gold trim. Both of the tin covers open and close freely and there is no sign of rust on the entire specimen. The box has a length of 9” and a depth of 6 1/4” the height is 4 1/2” not including the 3/4” wide handle. It is very seldom that you find a spice box of this style in a condition this pristine – this specimen is a real gem. |

SOLD This is a Climax revolving grater in Excellent condition. This beautiful specimen still retains its attractive red/brown paint and it still has the all to frequently missing glass pusher for the feed shoot. The wooden knob on the handle is free of any cracks or chips and ads to the attractive appearance of this very collectible revolving grater. The grater stands 11 1/2” tall when mounted to a table and has a drum diameter of 3 1/2”. |
