Browsing that site (again :o - gotta do something apart from making tea while the kitchen fitters are here :)) I've just been reading about corned beef...

The earliest domestic openers were made in the 1860s and were called Bull's Head tin openers, as they had a cast-iron handle shaped into a bull's head and tails and were sold with tins of bully beef...In 1866 a special can with its own key opener was introduced."

I've got one of these......can't believe it's that old, tho ???....hasn't got a maker's mark on it. Anyone else seen one?

;D

Wow!!!! What a great site...added to favourites immediately!!
Thanks Lishka!

Pleasure! It's a gem, isn't it? (back to browsing...)
