Grandma's Cherry Pitter

Oh I love it! I've never seen one of those. Do you think they still make them? Love the circles and the colors.

Beautiful layout! Pitting cherries is a messy, messy job. We almost always do it outside and wear paint clothes to avoid the stains. Your circle framed photos and papers are delightful.

I know they have new versions that work the same but are a little easier on the fingers.  I have several kinds...In case I can con someone into helping me, lol!

Yes!  Cherry juice everywhere, lol.  It's a tedious job.  I like to cut them in half and dry them to throw in oatmeal, breads/muffins, salads or homemade granola bars.  So I try to do as many as I can but I wish there was a way to automate the process more!

I just looked online - they are fancy looking now, looks easier to use. But I like this antique one.
