Description
C-19216
Pair of clamp-on cast metal meat grinders including one embossed “Hibbard, Spencer, Bartlett & Co. Chicago” beneath the OVB (Our Very Best) mark and one stamped “Health-Mine.” The Hibbard example features a bold, shield-form housing with raised lettering and a heavy threaded table clamp, while the Health-Mine grinder carries a rounded hopper form and retains its original wooden-handled crank. Both show square-drive cutter openings and substantial cast frames designed for repeated, hand-powered grinding. Surfaces exhibit honest oxidation, darkened patina, and work wear consistent with early kitchen or butcher shop use.
Surface oxidation, finish wear, and age-related patina throughout. No internal plates or additional components included beyond what is shown; operational completeness not tested. Offered as-is.
Health Mine: 10.75" H OVB: 9" H
