I am showing you what I bought, as it is listed on e bay. Vintage Corona Stainless Pastry Nut Chopper Red Bakelite Handle $14.99 Buy It Now I paid fifty cents. I bought it because it felt good in my hand. I was not sure exactly what it was, so I guessed, and searched for the name brand Corona Stainless. I like good tools and this one felt solid, and it was pretty red, and shiny stainless steel. I read that I can chop nuts, and possibly veggies with it. I thought it was to blend dough. So I feel good about my valuable purchase.

Those vintage tools are precious. I have a few vintage kitchen tools and treasure each one. What a good buy.

The ladies at the counter had never seen one. Now that I researched it, thanks to hubby being able to read the small print, I feel very well informed and like a champion bargain hunter as well.

Excellent bargain Heather. I would have bought it to display with the rest of my unique gadgets.

@GardenGerty If it is usable why not put it to good use. Some of the older tools work better than the new and improved ones.

@ElusiveButterfly It is stainless and has no marks on it and the handle is firmly attached, it will be good to use.

I did search. You hold the red part in your hand and use the blades to chop up vegetables and nuts.

I think ebay is over priced like amazon's prime stuff.

Some people pay big bucks for vintage. You cannot blame the e bay seller for hoping. I would not pay that, but I was happy with fifty cents. I finally got a picture up, too.

@GardenGerty That is good I am glad to see it. And like you I would pay cheaper for that too. A good buy on your end for sure.

@ShaylovesKay People can get away with high prices when other people are willing to pay them.

Does it work well or the pieces of nuts go everywhere when you chop them?

I have not tried it yet, but my plan would be to put them in a wooden or ceramic bowl so they would not scatter. I could imagine the mess.

@GardenGerty I use a wooden bowl, because the ceramic can break, but some pieces scatter anyway.

I do not often buy old kitchen tools, but family members give them to me. I liked the feel of it, and now I love the price as well.

@GardenGerty Cooking more is a good thing. You're kicking the fast food and restaurant habit.
