My granny used the harmonica end for green beans. When you pulled the bean through it cut the bean in perfect Frenched slices, and removed the bean pod. The harmonica blades were very sharp Then canned the cut green beans. The peeler was used for any vegetables or fruit to skin it.

We also used the harmonica end to strip herbs away from the stalks. Quick and easy. Today I have a Julian attachment on my mandolin. And to remove herbs from the stalk I actually have a tool that has different size holes in it that you run the stock through and all the herbs stay on the other side. Both very expensive compared to what my grandmothers peeler did. I still have my granny’s peeler, and sometimes it works better than all my contraptions
