Description:

Antique tobacco slicing machine from Germany. Made of cast iron with a wooden hinged folding top table extender and wooden knob for turning the cutting wheel. Cast into the cast iron base is a mono gram "HR" with the words, "Gesetzlich Geschützt" which trans lated to English means something like "registered" or "lawfully protected". The heavy cast iron wheel with 3 cutting blades is about 6 inches in diameter. Tobacco leaves or plug is fed under a cast iron roller on the top with a fluted wooden cog wheel below to feed into the cutting blade that is turned with the crank. This provides a very consistent finely cut tobacco for use in pipes or cigarettes. Probably, this machine was in a general store or tobacconist's business.
