Nutbrown Egg Slicer

Made in England

From the 1940's/1950's (???)

A note from Sharon on Thursday 25th May 2006
"When I was in Adelaide for Mother's funeral (July 2001) I brought home a few bits and pieces
All the family took the mementos they wanted

However, there was a lot left and as Lesley said, when the house was ready to be sold
someone had to empty it and she got the job!!
She ended up with heaps of stuff and is still going through it five years later!

At a recent "cousins" gathering that Lesley organised, she gave little bags with
"Memorabillia from Mother and Dad"
in them for all the guests
She said everyone was pleased to receive them!

I was in Adelaide during March 2006 and Lesley asked me if I wanted this egg slicer

There is no real dollar value to this slicer
I am just really glad to use the little things that my Mother used!!!"

Size of this slicer - 5.125 inches x 3.125 inches
(13cm x 8cm)
