It took the help of the entire internet to find out what the object was!

The investigation quickly evolved into a collaborative project. Lovers of antique objects, cooking enthusiasts, and curious people of all ages contributed their knowledge. After hours of discussion, the truth finally came to light.

The revelation: an antique meat grinder

To everyone’s surprise, the mysterious object was neither a rare industrial device nor a strange instrument, but an   old-fashioned, manual meat grinder   . A once indispensable kitchen utensil, now largely replaced by electric appliances and therefore forgotten by many.

This meat grinder was attached directly to a table or work surface using a clamp screw. The meat was placed inside and pressed through a perforated plate by turning a crank. Simple, efficient, and remarkably ingenious.
