13. Peach peeler (Image 13 of 16)

You might think it unnecessary to peel a peach; you might also think it unnecessary to use such a frightening beast to skin such a fragile fruit. And you'd be right. But for those Georgians who just couldn't bare the feel of furry skin on their teeth, this 1820s peach peeler was an absolute must.

Like the equivalent 'pie safe', it was designed to keep the enclosed food safe from isnects and rodents whilst they were held in a cool, dark, place, like a butter pantry or a basement.

Back when toasts were made over an open fire, at least a small amount of inedible char was impossible to avoid---crust scraping was really necessary.
