Chop Rite Two #12 Meat Grinder - Made in USA

For my birthday this year Danielle got me a meat grinder to grind up the old laying hens once their replacements start laying.  We found a company that makes cast-iron meat grinders here in the USA with US iron.  This meat grinder was designed in the late 1800s and manufactured under the Enterprise brand until the 1990s when the company changed hands and was renamed Chop-Rite.  I was a bit hesitant because it is not tinned like the old models but now has a Xylon coating on the cast iron.  We'll have to see how it holds up over time.

I love the warning sticker.  "DO NOT PUT HANDS OR FINGERS IN CYLINDER MOUTH OF GRINDER.  MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR AMPUTATION" One has to love idiot labels!
