Reading Inverted

Although this parer is not a part of the Reading series numbered with dates from the 1870's, it does have an interesting solution to prevent clogging. Known to collectors as the "Reading Inverted" this parer inverts the turntable gears to protect them from parings. This parer is on the fragile side, especially the push-off.
