Today’s mystery tool

Just as well they were lost! I still have the scars from the jagged edge left by that sort of can opener!

Don't we all? The kitchen was a far more dangerous place in those days. Far safer to buy fish and chips.

 

[Harbo]

Are they the ones that cut off the top of the can lid from the side?
If so remember them - they left a very sharp flimsy edge!

So it’s to go into my collection if it will not fetch a crazy price on eBay

Cheapskate. If you bought a decent brand of beans, the can would have a ring pull.

Us OAP cannot afford expensive beans with this government in charge. And the can opener is my Christmas present from honest frank.

 

[Phil Pascoe]

[wizard]

He then asked if I had a spare brazing rod he could have
