1930's CTR National Meat Slicer Value

[sboise]

I am trying to find the possible value of this "CTR National Slicer" Model 55. Serial #34235. It is an electric slicer that is still in great working condition. The only issue with the slicer is that the switch is a little bent but it still works. It also has a Leland motor. The patent # is 1760670

From what research I have done, I have yet to find a similar model to this slicer. I was able to find patent information on it from the patent listed on the slicer. According the the patent it looks like it was made around 1930? I have attached photo's of the slicer and the patent information as well. Does anyone know about old meat slicers?

Unless they retained that name CTR became International Business Machine Corp. in 1924 better known as IBM !! However for things like this,, unless it is in a condition that can be used,,would be hard to value !!  There is no collector interest that I am aware of !! To sell for use may need to be re-wired to code !!~

The patent was filed in 1927 but not approved until 1930!!

Deer hunters, etc., who butcher/process their own “kill” are often looking for older meat processing equipment such as your “slicer“. Anyone who make their own “deer jerky” could find a use for it.

New health rules prohibit most older equipment from being used in public places.
