I like that the admonition on this piece of equipment is to “keep knife sharp” and not “don’t put your hand in here while in use”. People must have been much smarter then. Is this evidence of reverse darwinism?

I love that you also got the oil can on the shelf – I’m sure with all the paper shreds it needed to be oiled often!

Hi Lois,
That’s one big paper cutter! Don’t think I’ve ever seen one that big. Great shot. Have a great day!!
