Vintage Thingies Thursday is hosted by Lisa at Confessions of an Apron Queen.
Show & Tell Friday is Hosted by Kelli at There is No Place Like Home.
These kitchen tools and bowl are what is left from my great grandmother. I’m told my great grandfather made several of them.
Left to right:
A scale hook, a potato masher, a ?????, an early version of a slotted spoon??, knife sharpener, an early version of a potato rice?? manual of course. In the bowl is a chop knife and next to the bowl is a hand made aluminum scoop and measuring cups set. I don’t actually use them, but they look great in my 116 year old vintage kitchen. (Don’t worry, we’ve just completed bringing the kitchen into the 21st century, but left the aesthetics as old farmhouse).

Love all your heirloom gadgets! It’s so nice to think of our Great Grandmothers actually having touched the things we have from them, isn’t it?

I agree, you can not beat inherited vintage! Thank you for sharing (I’m sure these really serve your 116 yo kitchen well!)
What a wonderful collection. I love vintage things.
Have a great week.

Thanks for education in old household tools! So interesting!!
Often as I put a load of laundry in the washer and walk away to turn on the faucet and load the dishwasher- and walk away – or use my stand-mixer- I am thankful for all the automation we homekeepers are blessed with in this generation:)

Love your recipes! Wow! I might be here awhile.
Whoa…she MADE some of these? What talent. And what treasures!!!!
Stop by my show and tell when you have time, I’d love to have you visit with me this fine day. Happy weekend to you!!!
Those are so neat! What a great family treasure!
These are neat items, especially if they were handmade and stood the test of time.

Wow!
The ??? item looks like a chopper to me.
I love that your great grandfather made some of these thingies. I’m sure they are lovely in your vintage kitchen!
How very special to have things from your great grandfather. He was very talented-they’re beautiful as well as useful- That meat chopper is so elegant.
The inherited vintage is the best! The ??? is the most interesting of these, it looks like you could take something between the metal parts, but the handle doesn’t support this theory. Hmmm…
These are so cool! I think the aluminum scoops and the chopping knife are my favorite.
What a great thing to have that your grandfather made. They are great kitchen vintage items. Love them.
How great to have something made by you great grandfather..very special 🙂
It appears that working in a kitchen used to be fairly violent work! Very nice that they’re heirlooms.
Okay, now your going to tell us
what all of those kitchen thingies
are used for right? I don’t have

Cool items! What are they each used for?
