(This has nothing to do with jeeps, but everything to do with food)
Last fall when Ann and I were visiting with Bob and Mindy in Ohio Bob happened to pull out a hand slicer he used to slice meat. I thought it was really cool and told him so. A couple months ago he was at an auction, spotted one, and called me to ask if he should bid on it. Sure I said. He got a good price on it and shipped it out west to me. I finally got a chance to boil, clean and reassemble it.
The best thing is that it is all steel and tough and can be taken apart and cleaned; almost no plastic! It’s called a General 100 Meat Slicer. I still need some two more footings, but it works great. Pretty good for a 45 year-old machine. Even cooler is that someone inscribed their name and a date — June of 1967. Thanks again Bob!
Here’s is are a variety of them on Etsy for sale. Here are others on eBay. Below is a picture of mine with some freshly sliced ham.
Sharp moving objects are a receipt to slice and dice my figures…I let the butcher do it. Have plenty of band-aids handy.
You’d have to be a major idiot to slice your finger off with one of these. Dave,I need two feet for mine too…If you run across them, I could use them.
Are those feet suction cups? They look similar to the cups on the things women buy to hang baskets on shower walls… Try looking at places like Bed, Bath and Beyond, maybe. Wally World might have something close, too.
HTH!
They are kind of like a suction cup, but not as large as the ones today. I’ve been looking at a variety of rubber bits that will serve the function but have not found any yet. I do know these things will slice meat super thin. Dave’s is a bit nicer than mine in that the blade comes off with the red button. Mine you have to remove with a screw. I’ve been using mine to make deer jerky.
I tried hunting for suction cups at Lowe’s, but they didn’t have anything useful. However, I just searched the web and stumbled upon these suction cup feet

A bit pricey, but these might be for sale in other places for cheaper …. Bob, I’ll let you know what I find.
