My mother had one just like it. Remember it as far back as the mid
1970s. When the cutting and drive wheels finally wore out after 15
or 20 years I searched locally (pre Internet) for a replacement with
no luck. Ended up buying a hand held Swing-a-Way and robbing the
parts from it.

Great can opener! In addition to all the people food cans it
probably opened 5,000 plus cans of cat food. Yum...

I oil it as needed, maybe once a decade, and a minute ago.
