Hello from Hazard!
Bernard Kenny, of Baden, Pennsylvania, who submitted Item No. 1139, suspected it is a sausage stuffer.
James Barr, Ashville, Ohio; Thomas Douglas, Millersburg, Ohio (Thomas says sometimes auctioneers identify it as a tobacco grinder); and Gloria Tritten Mathews, Lisbon, Ohio, all agree with Bernard. A sausage stuffer it is.
Next, we’ll show Item No. 1140 submitted by Wayne Cooper, of Fombell, Pennsylvania. The small can fits inside the larger one upside down with a spring release to allow flow.
