Egg Scales / Graders & Egg Carriers / Crates




vintage egg scale2 Egg Scales   On top is the Reliable Egg Scale and it has a brass tag identifying it. It hails from LA.   In front is the ???? and it still has about 90% of its paper label.  Egg scales are a favorite collecting category for Kitchen collectors and after buying one or more of the reproduction Jiffy-Ways being offered currently in every imaginable setting the hunt for genuine ones takes over and a real collection  is begun and the hunt begins. There are hundreds of variations that can be found from overly designed and needlessly complicated, to the more simplistic like these.  I just wonder who was weighing their eggs and why.

vintage egg cutterThe Perfect Patented Egg Cutting Guide   What a stupid idea this thing was!  A guide for making the perfectly level knife cut in the perfect place in the shell of your soft boiled egg.  Another wacky idea that was granted a patent---this one on May 19, 1896.  A copy of the very detailed directions on how to use it to "sever the shell neatly and remove the top of the egg without any muss" are included, which by the way refer to it as the "Yankee Egg Holder".  It figures.  Who else would care.  Personally I avoid the problem by eating mine hard boiled.
