Sorry, Joe, but that’s not an apple peeler. I have one of those antique apple peelers (my GGM’s from 1896), and those run horizontal not vertical. What Tia Carmen has looks more like some sort of hand-powered grinder, perhaps a personal coffee grinder? If it were larger, it would look like my grandmother’s old wheat grinder, but that thing weighs over 100 lbs so Tia Carmen couldn’t be holding it up with one hand.
