    In the first photo is three items in my kitchen collection, an invalid feeder, and two raisin seeders.
    The invalid feeder (pic #2) is a small food grinder (Enterprise #0) that clamped to the side of the dinner table so grandmom or grandpop could eat the same supper as the rest of the family, even though they might have few or no teeth left.
    Picture # 3 & 4 show two types of raisin seeders. The crank model is a gem raisin seeder. To use the gem, you first wet the raisins, than funnel them into the little hopper where a series of toothed rakes separate the meat from the seeds. It than deposits the raisin meat to a bowl and the seeds fall to the table.
    The other raisin seeder is a manual seeder where the raisins are placed on the wire table, and the top plate presses down and squeezes the raisin seeds through the evenly spaced wires and the raisin meat stays on top.
    So why did they need a raisin seeder? .... All raisins had seeds that had to be remover before they could be used in a pie or other desert.
    Today we take it for granted that raisins and grapes are seeded.
    That is why, in the market advertisings, they always say "seedless grapes"
    "OOPS" I just noticed that I previously posted the little wire top raisin seeder before, anyway, I get to show another type and an invalid feeder.
