For some reason I am imagining a stick of some sort going into the rectangular slot to act as a handle (to steady and guide the tool) as you tap the peen and cut through tin with the blade.

Stude17 Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Looks like a vintage can opener to me. The adjustable cutter/pin is missing from the rectangular slot. https://buynow.collectorcorkscrews.com/detail.asp?id=10265&n=Elgin-Wood-American-Patent-Can-Opener--Corkscrew 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DFeeney Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Isn't in interesting how much past information has been lost. There was a day when "Every Kid" in town knew what this tool was for. Thanks for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
