I remember the aluminum ice trays but none of the others. The ice trays remind me of when we had to "defrost the fridge" - what a chore!

Thing on the left looks like a 60s cheese slicer.

Also these:

Most of the utensils in that link are *after* my time. I want that pot strainer!

Somewhere in the house I think I still have one of each of these.
Tomato press? Cheese grater? Never used them.

Was gonna say eggbeater, but Pappy posted a pic.

I also remember my mom using a meat grinder to make ham salad. Attached to table or counter with a bolt.

The top one is a potato ricer, the bottom a meat grinder for making ground beef.

Yes so did ours. The one illustrated is held doen as you feed meat into the "bell" and turn handle it grinds. The other style was better.

Jim, that bottom thing is a cheese grater, if I'm not mistaken. Could be for spices also.

 

[AZ Jim]

You could be right. The top one I am confident in.

I can attest to the second one being a cheese grater. One of my childhood chores was grating the parmesan and romano cheese. So I got very well acquainted with that kitchen tool.

I remember an Ice cream mix that came in a envelope that we mixed and poured into these trays, after removing the dividers. Put them in the freezer, and later scooped it out. We had a very small freezer compartment.

Mine had a meat grinder as well.

Your kitchen? Very nice!

No idea the age of these coffee grinders but I love antiques so they decorate my windowsill.



My scale that's a bit different from the bulky ones pictured:

 

[Pappy]

Grandma used a flour sifter quite often. Now they are in antique stores.

 

[Meanderer]

My Wife's Grandma had a setup similar to this in her Kitchen cupboard to dispense flour.

 

[Mrs. Robinson]

In the pic first posted of the three items,the middle one is an angel food cake cutter. People in the 70`s used them to comb their "afros".

I just unpacked a box of my mom`s things last year (she passed away in 1991) and her old meat grinder was in there. I haven`t used it yet but I will eventually. Maybe make some corned beef or roast beef hash or something.

And the old flour sifter brings back awesome memories! My sister and I used to go out on the back lawn very early in the mornings when we were about 3 & 5 and grind up garden snails that were on the dewy lawn. Great fun lol!
