My great grandmother would always make chicken and dumplings for the dinners with freshly gathered greens from the side of the country roads.So here’s a couple images of the vice.  Anyone know anything about this one?[ATTACH=full]233169[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]233170[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]233171[/ATTACH]And here’s the head remover:[ATTACH=full]233172[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
