My father indicates it is over 100 years old. It is in pieces but I should be able to get it working. She wanted me to have it since I'm the most likely to use it. I'm 56 and remember seeing her use it when I was 10 or so. Apparently my father's grandmother had it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2693775542020483450.post-66331194391639440762013-04-30T16:56:47.138-04:002013-04-30T16:56:47.138-04:00I have a Maxwell No.10 Food Chopper, which belonge...I have a Maxwell No.10 Food Chopper, which belonged to my Grandmother. I am 64 years old so you get some idea of how long this chopper has been around. Nana Webber lived in St. Stephen, New Brunswick and like most women of the day, was a very accomplished cook. The chopper was kept in her "pantry" (something houses of today do not have) and I recall playing with it as a youngster, just because it had moving parts. Last evening I cam across the chopper in my work shop, put it together after washing, and gave it a test run with some pieces of wing steak. It made fantastic burgers. Today I have just finished providing our 11 year old granddaughter with her own burger made with the Maxwell Limited No.10. It won't be the last time I use it as it's so much easier to clean up than with the modern equivalent, which will last, if lucky, no more than a year. Some "old" things are just plain BETTER!<br /><br />-Dave Morell<br />Fredericton, New BrunswickAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
