I found this brutal looking meat tenderizer in the barn at an estate sale. Into my big L.L. Bean canvas bag it went. I’m sure I wasn’t the first person to see the tool. Why didn’t anyone else grab it. I mean, buying that thing was a no-brainer.
The head is solid lead. The decorative shape and obvious old age looked Victorian to me. The Victorian era was 1837 to 1901. Check out the screwdriver tip tenderizers…
I listed it on Ebay. It languished there for over 4 years. Then it sold. I’d like to think it went into some sort of museum.
