This was my mother's old meat grinder. We have never used it, but I can't bring myself to chuck it out, so it takes up a lot of room in our kitchen drawer.

Oh my gosh! We have the same meat grinder from my grandma! We just found it a while ago and fought over who was going to take it. I think my sister won as I don't have it. *frown* We also have an ice grinder for snow cones that is shaped somewhat like a bullet. Reminds me of the meat grinder. As always, your photography stands alone! Fantastic.

Jerry, I really like how the grain and toning enhance the "vintage" appeal of this subject. Well composed and taken...neat idea. I also like how the checkered table cloth really grabs my attention. MFC

What a neat find Jerry, and well- photographed. I really like your composition; and the toning definitely gives it that old-fashioned feel. --Melanie
I have one of these . . . was my mom's, and I think, her mom's . . .I still DO use it on occasion. Perhaps you should clean it up and hang it on the wall for decor
