Original traditional Italian meat slicers are a rare commodity. Reproductions of the original machines are available to purchase. The most desired type of slicer was manufactured by Berkeley and featured a beautiful traditional design and hand-painted finish.
Function
-
The piece of meat or salami is inserted into the device and clamped into place. When the hand-wheel is manually turned, it causes the sharp steel blade to rotate and slice the meat. Each type of meat slicer has its own instructions; follow them closely for safety purposes.

Benefits

The Italian meat slicer easily cuts neat, wafer-thin pieces of prosciutto, along with thick chunks of chorizo and other meats. The machine can also be used to cut breads and cheeses.

I Found an old Globe model 150 meat slicer from the 1950's for free on Freecycle, here in connecticut, and it had a worn blade berring, but I found a new "old stock" berring in a slicer parts warehouse with a very reasonable price, and I added new sharpening stones also, and I can now slice anything super thin. Nothing beats the real thing when it comes to slicing Meat, and it saves money to slice your own. Always remember to clean Any slicer when through using it, but be careful. Those Slicer blades are really Sharp! Chuck. Waterbury, CT. USA.
