Came up with a more interesting shot, still not quite the same but cool kitchen 'helpers'
"The Pot Lifter / Multi-Tool Collection Here is an interesting collection of early tools that could be found in the kitchen of yesteryear. We have been buying such things for many years, and they are genuinely hard to come by after you get the first one or two more common varieties. These are another example of the 100 year rule of collectibles in action, as we use to see them out and about, and now have not added a new one to this collection in several years. The last came with a collection of trivets we bought a while back. I do not expect to ever find one in a shop or at a show anymore. They just do not come out at the garage sale for those dealers to buy so they can offer them up in their wares. They are one of the most graphic and yet simple of all the types of tools found in the early kitchen. I love the way today we are offered devices for the kitchen that will do a host of jobs, i.e. radios with can openers, coffee grinders, knife sharpeners etc all rolled up into one package, and all designed to last no more than a couple of years if actually used. Well that was not the intent or purpose when these devices were introduced, they were built to last and they have. It was truly a matter of space and convenience that these were developed and offered to the lady of the house back then. People simply did not have 500 sq ft kitchens and 60 ft. of upper and lower cabinets to store all their possessions. There was one cabinet and 1 stack of drawers and a limited amount of space available in that top drawer in most kitchens from that era. Some of these have so many intended uses that you can lose count trying to figure it out. Devices such as these made sense, sometimes, and even if they didn't, today they sure make for a great collectible to hang on one of those empty spaces in that oversize kitchen you have.
