Vintage Can Opener
Here is a well-maintained vintage can opener that comes fitting with a wooden handle and it was a special gift from my friend. This item is commonly used by local kopitam (Coffeeshop) back in the 60s and 70s.
The sharp can opener are use to punch holes to opened up the milk can. In those days, there was no lifting opener installed on the top of the cans unlike these days.
I have another can opener which is owned by my grandmother for the last 60 years.
This vintage can opener is made by J. Watts. Pat back in the 1950s era. According to my dad who used this often, mention that it is very common to see presence of rust on top of these can openers. He also mentioned that in his younger days, these sharp pointed openers have many other uses such as acting as a cuter to cut objects like cardboard when the scissors isn't available.
These days those sharp spikes pointed can opener are rarely to be found in the markets. Since technology have improved products over time and succession take place replacing those older technologies. Openers nowadays are made for beer cap bottles types and most of the tuna cans have lifting opener installed in them.
