Meat Grinders
Joyce, I have a meat grinder with the year 1890 engraved on the side. It is in good condition and I was wondering if it was worth anything.

Hello Tracy, Food grinders are quite common. Some households still find them useful for grinding meats, fruits etc. There are some that are older and more valuable, such as the brand name ‘Griswald’. Larger food grinders were used for making sausage. Smaller specialized grinders were for herbs and spices. The average size, common grinders sell for $12.00 – $18.00. Antique, specialty grinders are valued $25.00 – $40.00.
— Thanks for your inquiry, Joyce
