Custodial history

Donated to Heritage York by Howard and Mary Louise Ashbourne. The item was purchased by donors at the Inglewood antique market ca. 2000 and donated for display purposes Lambton House.

Scope and content

Item is a cherry pitter or cherry stoner. It has a clamp on the bottom that would allow the user the ability to secure the device to a table or counter. Whole cherries were then placed on the protruding plate that angled into the punch which removed the pit. The punch is operated by a crank and wooden handle. These kinds of kitchen gadgets became popular in the late 1800s and early 1900s as a way to create more efficiency in the home.
