Nice Antique Carved and Turned Wooden Citrus Reamer mesh hand-carved wooden dollNothing better than kitchen tools that are both useful and beautiful, and I do think as a form the citrus reamer may be the best of them all. This one I believe dates to the 19th century, with carved reamer and turned handle terminating in a great fat rounded end. Years of use in it yet, but also great just sitting around. 6 long, 1 5 8" d. Wear and light cracking to the surface of the wood consistent with age.
