The Union with Shelf

Union with Guide Plate

In this version of the Union a curved metal plate is placed mid-way up the frame. The metal plate guides the paring arm and pushes it out of the way once the apple is pared. This plate replaces the fragile rod on the paring arm used in their first design. Union Apple Parers with the guide plate or shelf are not embossed with the Union name.
