Cooks have always needed a grater for various purposes in the kitchen. It was one of those tools that passed the test of time and is still in demand today. The one in the picture was one used in the late 1700's. It did back then what a modern one does today. This was the "giant, economy size" because cabinet space was not a problem back then. Today's graters are about one-third that size. Few of these tools have survived, but this one is in a national park, so it's preservation is assured.
