Title: Berkel style meat slicer
Post by: welderboyjk on July 22, 2007, 11:10:31 PM

I have a meat slicer which looks just like all of the Berkels on ebay. It is in the basement right now but if I remember right it was made by the Lucey slicing machine company, and it is called a lucey silent slicer. It is a hand crank machine and HEAVY. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

This is merely a shameless bump.

I got sick of looking at it in the basement, plus the wife wants Christmas money so I listed it on EBAY. Hope I didn't do something stupid

It is item #190176344311

Just got to thinking about this the other day when I was looking at a plywood box in the basement. The "buyer" was in italy. He didn't speak english, and I didn't speak B.S. The sale never got completed. I built a nice container to ship it in. It actually got hauled from Michigan to Florida and back as I had to go to a trade show. I was going to be out of town for a week and I thought I'd be nice and ship it as soon as it was paid for, that never happened.
I haven't really done a bunch more research on it, but if anyone has info I would be thankful.

 ??? An almost 4 year old post just got bumped, no picture to go with it, and the owner hasn't done any research on it in 3 1/2 years?

Angler, yes I resurrected an ancient thread. I could take a pic of it now, but all I would get is a plywood box. I crated it up in hopes of shipping it but the sale fell through. The pics I took are on an old computer which I will have to try an fire up. Hopefully I can find time in the next couple of days.

Wendy, I have occasionally googled anything related to "lucy silent slicer machine" and haven't come up with much, and yes from the deep recesses of memory that is what it looks like. How did you ever find that page?

I'll try to get some pics up soon.

Title: Now with PICTURES
Post by: welderboyjk on July 12, 2011, 04:37:34 PM

Ok I finally got some pics off of the old dinosaur. If needed I can post some more.
The only problem with the thing can be seen in the closeup of the name tag. Apparently it was broke onde upon a time and repaired.

Not really sure what information you are looking for you have everything you need from pat#s to company name  and address to years of production.   ???   With all this info and a little research you should be able to determine a value in this market.

Looks like we may have the same slicer.  I've been going through the attic of our restaurant and found one that looks just like the one here.  Looks to be all original and in pretty decent shape.  Pattent date are identical.  Our S/N is 40355.  I tried to look at the Ebay sale but it's no longer availble.  Anyone have an idea of what it went for?
