As I explore the many handmade garage cabinets my grandpa built in this old house, I continually come across more and more treasures. Most of the tools I use are leftovers from him. The other day while I was rummaging through some old boxes, I found these:
An old electric oven! I don’t know why I’d ever use this, but it looks cool. I guess if my existing ovens ever break, I can plug this in and cook a turkey.I think this is an old butcher scale, but I’m not positive. My grandpa was a butcher at a local grocery store back in the day.The back looks really cool. It’s got a state inspection sticker still on the side. I love things from the past!I have no idea what this is… but I know it’s old. It dispenses what looks like masking tape. Any ideas??This one is actually grandma’s rather than grandpa’s. It’s an old tempura/fondue maker… brand spanking new, but definitely old.
I have no idea what to do with any of these (except the tempura maker). But they are definitely cool finds at the house!
oh!I think the tape dispenser thing is what they used to tape up meat packages back in they day. crate & barrel has something similar (but electric) for their boxes. Here are the more modern versions of that http://www.uline.com/Grp_128/Kraft-Tape-Dispensers
ps that scale is legit! let’s go butcher something and see how much it weighs!
You are right Lilly! It even has a sponge/brush on the bottom to wet the tape as it dispenses. Too bad I have no need of it right now. haha.
And yes, let’s go get some meet and weigh it! (then have a massive bbq and consume all of it)
