Early Penn Lathe Parer

At first sight, this might remind one of the very successful White Mountain apple parers (not exhibited in the museum) that were manufactured by the Goodell Company. This parer is one of the early lathe models manufactured by Penn Hardware Company. A latch, which is not complete in this specimen, locks the threaded-shaft in place. Turn the crank and the apple is advanced passed a stationary blade and run through a slicer. Once the apple is pared it must be removed by hand. This parer is marked PATENT APPLIED FOR.
