This beautiful old potato masher measures a little more than 10 inches in length and is in excellent condition for being more than a century old. The sturdy wooden handle is about 5 1/2 inches in length and contoured to fit the hand. This handle has no cracks or damage to the wood. The metal "head" of the masher has three horizontal slits of 3 inches and 2 1/2 inches and this metal end area has a little bit of flexibility to help with the mashing process when the tool... is in use. Stamped on the metal of the masher is the following: Pat.7-3-17. This style of kitchen utensil is unusual and came from the estate of a large farm family where it was used regularly in preparing meals for the large family and helpers. It is in very good condition and would make a great addition to a kitchen with vintage decor. Thank you for looking.
