Description:

THIS IS FOR BOTH (2) APPLIANCES These mid 1960s counter-top appliances are matching and were purchased together. Like all kitchen items of the era, they came in avocado green, a gold yellow or almond and these are the almond color. They are a 2-tone color of an off-white and the almond. Both come from the original owner who purchased them and they were meticulously maintained and cleaned. These are amazing looking for kitchen items that were used regularly for well over half a century. Both were MADE IN THE USA which is amazing in itself and the quality shows. Things were made to last and they did not make things to break soon so you have to buy another. This is before the disposal culture developed. You bought an appliance to keep forever and pass on. KNIFE SHARPENER 511-06B-- A spinning stone for sharpening knives and scissors. Tested and works like new and other than the expected fine scratches where the blade draws through, it remains in amazing original condition CAN OPENER/JUICER 577-16F-- A dual purpose item to save space. In front is an electric can opener and it is spotless clean. The chromed lever looks like it is new as they chromed items much deeper and thicker then as these were made in the USA. The only sign of its age and use is the chrome on the cutting tip is gone and it is a dark patina. The juicer on top is a standard citrus juicer like they still make, but now they are made in China and will never last 60+ years. Even the plastic strainer and pour container have no cracks. You can find these on Ebay separately if you look over a long period (the juicer/can opener almost never turns up) but almost never in this condition and then they have to match color. They run at least $20 more for both with shipping
