Oriole Lathe Parer with GateOriole with Gate

Scott Manufacturing Company added a gate to the Oriole. After paring the apple the gate, which is a first-class lever, swings open so that the fork can be moved back to the starting position more easily. This version is rare, so maybe the design did not work as intended or the expense was not worth it. This parer is marked ORIOLE SCOTT MNF. CO. BALT. MD PAT. AUG 14 & 14, 1883.
