TWO VINTAGE RED HANDLED POTATO MASHERS

These two vintage potato mashers have red painted handles.  The handles are worn, discolored, and the paint is flaking off in spots.  One has a white stripe around the handle near the top, the wood of the other has a carved ring design.  They would date from the 1930s – 1960s.  The one with the white ring measures approximately 9 5/8 inches tall and the mashing area is approximately 4 inches by 3 inches with the wood part of the handle being 4 inches in length.  The metal near the top does have some rust, the blade area has discoloration, age patina and light rust.  The other one measures approximately 9 ¾ inches tall, with mashing area being approximately 4 inches by 2 ¾ inches, the wood handle is approximately 4 ¼ inches long.  The metal on this one is heavily discolored and does have moderate rust areas on it.  Both would display wonderfully with any collection of vintage kitchen items.
