Baldwin

Reading Hardware's Baldwin is somewhat similar to their '75 model in that the turntable gear is oriented perpendicular to the kitchen table. Like the '75, it also hangs off the edge of the table when properly mounted, so that parings and apples clear the kitchen table as they fall. The parer is marked BALDWIN on the push-off. A 1912 ad features the Baldwin priced at $6 a dozen (Smith Bros. Hardware Co., 1912, p. 836).
