ANTIQUE 1931 AMERICAN CHIEF SLICING MACHINE MEAT SLICER VINTAGE

Description

I BELIEVE THIS MEAT SLICER IS FROM ABOUT 1931. I CANNOT FIND ANY INFORMATION ON THIS PARTICULAR MODEL ,MADE BY THE AMERICAN SLICING MACHINE CO., WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE IT MAY BE VERY RARE. IT IS IN NEED OF RESTORATION BUT SEEMS TO BE NEARLY COMPLETE (THERE ARE ONE OR TWO (OR MORE ?) MISSING FASTENERS (CHROME THUMB SCREWS, ETC.). THERE ARE NO CRACKS OR BREAKS IN ANY OF THE CAST IRON PARTS. THE WHITE PORCELAIN CAST IRON PARTS (FOOD TRAY, GUIDE) SEEM TO BE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THE CORD NEEDS TO BE REPLACED (THE MOTOR HAS NOT BEEN TESTED). IT HAS A BUILT IN SHARPENING DEVICE UNDER A TOP COVER (SEE PHOTO). THIS MACHINE IS VERY HEAVY (140 TO 200 LBS. ?; I HAVE NOT WEIGHED IT). SOLD AS IS.
IF ANYONE HAS ANY INFORMATION (YEAR, RARITY, PRODUCTION NUMBERS, ETC.) ON THIS MODEL, PLEASE EMAIL ME !
NO SHIPPING (BUYER IS TO MAKE ALL SHIPPING ARRANGEMENTS).
