Raadvad was established in 1758, becoming famous from the 19th century for knives, blades and kitchen implements. Raadvad's iconic bread slicer has been produced for over a century, becoming a Danish design classic. No longer in production, you can now own one of these machines. This one was produced in the 1970s-1980s according to the original mid-century design. The original red paint is in near mint condition with only light patina (photos). The blade is in generally good condition, with a few small nicks that are hard to see and do not interfere with function (photo #10). The guillotine works well. It can slice breads (including rye), cheese, soap, fruits or flowers. Or it can be used as a book rack or as an unusual decoration, at home, or in a shop, cafe or restaurant. Sent fully assembled, ready for use. A wonderful vintage kitchen implement or charming decoration. I pack well (reviews) and send securely with insurance.
