Manual food processor question

[horseshoer]

When I was a kid we had a small (I think its called a food processor) that had
a suction bottom to keep it in place, crank, and a funnel-shaped/slanted
stainless cylinder that had a grater surface to it. Feed hopper at the top and just hand pressure down while turning the crank to shred/chop stuff. I think ours was used almost exclusively to make cole slaw.
Does anyone know if these are still available or has recently bought one?
Guess a search would probably get me answer, shows how I still dont think in computer terms. I have casually looked at WalMart/Target, etc.. and not seen anything. Will spend the extra $ for a power model but like the old-timey aspect & also space a consideration, the House of Shoer a small pad, and considering it will rarely be used, would like one that requires as little space to store as possible.

An added feature the manual has over the power model is, as I recollect,
(and the manufacturers don't tell you this in the operators manual), is that
when pushing food into one, if you get a little deep with yur fingertips or heel of the palm of yur hand, you can control the rate of speed at which you grind callouses or barnacles growing on yur hands. :D

how old are you anyway??? - I can remember the chopper - we use to see things like you are talking about at the Dixie Classic Fair every year - our slaw chopper was a metal ring with jaged teeth around it with a handle on it

50. Naw, this would be fairly old now but I was kid age in the 60s so this was
maybe a 50s-60s model. I think I know what you are talking about though and those ARE old. This one was probably enamel-coated zinc and like you said had a tapered ring about 4" wide. And tapered where it was about 4" dia on one end, 3" the other. Tapered to where the 4" end faced out and the cut slaw rolled out the end gravity flow as you turned the handle.

My 82 yr old best friend in TX has one I used to use to make sauerkraut. It was a flat piece of hardwood about a 1"X8" and 18" long. Lengthways in the middle a piece of the wood had been cut out and a blade resembling a meat cleavor blade was mounted flat with the board in that opening with wing nuts
on the sides to adjust how far up from the plane of the wood the blade sat.
You would run a chunk of cabbage back & forth across that blade like wimmen used to scrub clothes on a washboard, that puppy could shred some quantity in record time.
Another one where if yur piece of cabbage was gettin small and you weren't careful you could take care of any excess fingertip problems you'd been havin.
