Wow I have one of these, it was my mom’s and maybe her mom’s–still works great, perfect for ham salad the day after Easter! Mine isn’t losing pieces of iron or paint or gray meat into my ham though! Thank goodness!

What a shame it doesn’t work anymore! Over here in Australia, we call them spongs, I’ve got my Grandmother’s/Grandfathers – he was a butcher too

OMG I have that exact model from my Grandma. Box & all but it never rusted & I still use it to this day. I think it’s the way it’s stored that keeps it from rusting. They need to be oiled once in a while

Holy cow I just had a serious flashback to when I was little. My mom has one of those heavy duty things- but the difference is she probably got it when it was the “latest” thing… not as an awesome find years later…

by “thrifting” i assume you mean you purchased a meat grinder at a thrift store? welllllll theres not much i can say other than you just cant buy certain things at thrift stores and feel good about it later, like second hand underwear. im just suprised the previous owner managed to get all the human flesh out of it before casting it off on the step of the thrift store.

To clean a meat grinder you run bread through it.

Thank heavens. I’m glad the good folks at Omnomicon and Associates are keeping an eye out for us and preventing the intake of metal shards. Holy crap, that’s a frightening food experience. That thing should have come with a big sticker slapped on it, advertising Jagged Metal O’s

Bummer. It still looks cool, though. Perhaps it could be reborn as decoration?
