Antique "KBC" Bean Cutter
Here is another vintage treasure that Edenhope Antiques is pleased to offer you
It is a geniune old vintage metal bean cutter
Made by KBC
It is in good condition for its age
Measurements are 9.50 inches long
An excellent example from the 1920's to 1950's at a guess
There is no rust, it is quite solid, and still usable
It could do with a good repaint and a bit of "tender loving care"
but some of us preffer that rustic look, just as it is
Well loved and it would make a useful and a lovely display piece
A good conversation piece that would make you proud to own it
It is such a gem and a very collectable item
Bought from country estate - a special piece to enhance your collection

A question from one of the bidders
Hi there, and what is the handle made from?
Also, is there any markings or stamps on it
Thanks, Nay

The knob on the handle is wooden
Good luck and best wishes, Kay
