Anyone know what this thing is?

Anyone have any idea what this contraption is?
It says Bloomfield Industries Chicago #29 on the handle.
My guess is an old oil can crusher of some sort, but i don't even know if it's automotive related.

A neighbor, two houses down, got evicted, and this is one of a few items that i brought home, that the landloard told us to take what you want.

A french fry cutter!!!!
Holy S#&T.
I NEVER would have thought of that.
Blew my guess, automotive related, out the window, that's for sure.
I'll never use it.
Be a wall hanger, conversation item, in the garage.

A vintage bloomfield #29 is actually a nice score.
They sell for $45 to $100 retail to collectors.

Here's mine. It's a homeowner model and not industrial like the one you have.

With malt vinegar and gravy! Nothing like home made fries. Poutine too!!

Make some fries!

When I was young (when dinosaurs roamed) Mc Donald’s use to make their fries with a similar machine. Had a machine that washed and semi peeled fresh taters. Back when they sold real food!​

And they fried them in beef tallow. (like beef lard) no wonder why they were so good but so bad for you. Lol

I still love Mc Donalds fries when just made. Go to my local one around 11 am once a month when they are switching to lunch and those babies are fresh.
Tomorrow is my day. Wohooo.
