HISTORICAL CONTEXT

A&J was one of America’s leading kitchenware manufacturers from the early 1900s into the 1940s. This 1923 patented model is from their pre-Depression era production and features the iconic green farmhouse handle used in early American kitchens. Because it has passed the 100-year mark, it is considered an authentic antique kitchen tool and is sought after by collectors of primitive and farmhouse kitchenware.
