That's the one! I spent all day + came up w/nothing. This is a site I'll remember for sure! If anyone has an idea of the rough value I would love that. I would use the proceeds to get a slicer I can use w/o fear of ruining an antique. Thankyou-sapphire! I ckd it out + the 210 model was listed as obolete by Hobart in 1941-meaning they had a new model I guess. I just wish I could locate a listing to show me the correct year by serial #. it would make my day.
Where did you find this so quickly??

While browsing a shop recently I saw a few old straight razors- avg price was $40-95. The lady there stated she had recently sold the strop for $200. I only know there are a lot of reproductions that do not shave you due to the lack of silver in the blade, this is what helped them hone them on the strop. The ones I saw were not in very good shape. I do not know anything about these really I just happened to see them and asked her a couple of questions.

Antique Questions Forum / Hobart deli slicer

« on: September 01, 2009, 12:45:49 pm »

I recently purchased a Hobart deli slicer at the flea market for the home, it is a commercial unit but for the price I got it anyway, knowing it would outlast the last piece of junk I got at wal-mart. It works fine + looks good. I called the Hobart company inquiring about a manual or parts catalog in case I should need that later + they stated the slicer I have is near 100 years old + they did not keep files going back to the 1920s. Does anyone here have any info I might be able to use? I have been online all day w/o success although I did find a Hobart slicer made in the ? 40s for $1199.00 This may have been a good investment by accident.
This slicer is a model 210 w/a 10" blade serial#732273 , 1750 rpm 115 volt, 60 cycle, 3.33 amp 1 phase, motor spec3620, mach spec3898, 1/6 hp made in Troy Ohio, Hobart could not give an exact year due to lack of records but did state it was manufactured in the 1920s. All the identification is in very good shape. I bought it to use but I now think that may not be such a good idea since it could be quite valuable. There is supposedly 1 in a museum in Boston that is not as old as this.
Any help is appreciated
