Mini Story:
A larger and more substantial example of the iconic Spong National mincer — the No. 20 model.
Made in England by Spong & Co Ltd (est. 1856), these heavy-duty hand-cranked mincers were a staple in British and Australian kitchens for generations. The No. 20 is a generous household size, ideal for larger batches and serious home preserving.
Solid, beautifully engineered, and built to outlast modern equivalents — this is both a functional kitchen tool and a nostalgic display piece with real presence.
