Mechanical and articulated points function smoothly when tested;
flywheel exhibits a slight amount of play when turned while remaining fully functional. Blade and acrylic tray have been updated at some point. Minor loss to enamel of central flywheel element. Sharpening element was married to slicer some time in slicer’s history, functioning as intended. This example does not retain collection tray to underside of blade.
While this example bears markings indicating that it is a model 10 slicer, it more closely aligns with the design of the model 12. Wright would like to thank Emilio Mitidieri for his assistance in cataloging this lot. Signed with cast manufacturers mark to flywheel: [Brevetti Van Berkel Milano Soc. An.]. Stamped serial number to metal label: [2313].
