slice-a-slice

I cut my 

hand 

slicing a bagel

at my new brother-in-law's parent's 

apartment

during the post-wedding brunch.

My friend Sara said that would not have

happened

IF

 I had had my Slice-a-Slice with me....

Kinda Prouve-like 

with the perforated metal

and

the rubber feet isn't it?

Thin

Easy to store.

Simple

Fun to photograph.

Lots of fun.

These are the handles.

Open.

The wood strip at the bottom is

a 

little

odd.

Not as deadly as the knife,

but still,

be careful

even

with your Slice-a-Slice!

Prouve again.

I learned about Slice-a-Slice

from my 98 year old grandmother 

Mammy.

She likes her toast thin.

I saw hers and had to get one.

The patent date dates it to 1939.

(Mammy bought hers new in the 40s.)

UPDATE:

I just did a patent search 

and it

was designed by

Arthur Katzinger.

Nice job Art!

"is especially applicable to the preparation

of serving dainty-type sandwiches

as carried on

incidentally in

the home."

Sounds like Mammy for sure.....

If I were you,

I'd say it's time to get a

Slice-a-Slice....
