I use an apple corer all the time. Core the apple, put a little butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in the hole, and bake for 15 minutes or so. A great cheap treat, the kids love it.
Such a delightful picture you've painted of gallant 1808 York dandies impressing a sweet young things with their handy dandy apple corers. Cinematic, Michael, and it's easily understood why you are keeping this particular rarity for yourself. It's a grand slice of a grander historic time when even the smallest of courtesies could be writ large with the right sterling utensil. Thank you for sharing. This was so much fun to watch. Loved it.
I didn’t know you wrote that book! And I know very little of York hallmarks… Went to buy one but not a single copy on eBay. I’ll have to keep an eye out for that one!
Well, dang.... Not owning such a delightful foodie thing yet, I was penning my email to you almost immediately to inquire about its acquisition until you stated it was York *and* usually sell in excess of £1k. So much for my attempt to add to my gastronomic collection on the cheap. Regardless, color me beguiled!
Sorry to be a tease! Birmingham and london examples do turn up and if i see one i’ll let you know and hopefully it can be bagged for a sensible price. Only s few weeks ago i saw the most wonderful late 17th century example with a spice caster end, but unfortunately that flew under the hammer!

Thankyou, so glad you enjoyed it. Hope it shows how much more there is to (proper) collecting.
Another good example of why your vast knowledge and determined detective work has paid dividends. Thank you Michael for another fascinating video.
Thanks Peter!
Another slice of your amazing knowledge and experience, Michael… much appreciated and thank you 👍🏻👌
My pleasure. Glad you enjoyed it
Excellent as always enjoyed that episode thank you Michael
👍🙂
That is quite a treasure. Thanks for the informative and interesting video Michael! Using an apple corer to impress a lady is pretty hard core!
👍
What a find, in so many ways! Well done Michael.
Thankyou. 🙂
Cor blimey! You do realise that hence forth, whenever I see one, I will involuntarily refer to it as a "bird puller". A super object. Well done.
Bird puller it is! 😂

Second hand copies do come up (rarely) but only 100 were printed
@@michaelbaggott-rk1lh I will definitely keep an eye out for that then! 👍
Another item on my must have list together with a nutmeg grater....another interesting topic...regards H.
It is a great approach to have a “check list” of silver rarities you want to acquire, i may well try and assemble some examples for a future film. 👍
Would today be a very useful implement to distribute cinnamon/ nutmeg on top of an apple crumble. 😋
Lovely find. Well done
Cheers👍 (was particularly lucky)

Stand by for lots of jokes about Cox.
So interesting hearing the history of the simple apple corer 🫶🏼😊
