From the Publisher:

This is Mr. Thornton's third book on the subject. Mr. Thornton also wrote "Apple Parers," the delightful comprehensive history, identification and price guide to the vast variety of ingenious apple peeling, coring and slicing devices that were a vital part of early America. Both books are a must for any antique kitchenware collector's reference library.

From Chapter 1: Horace Whitney was the man who initially marketed the eggbeater ... He purchased the patents and exclusive rights for the production of the hand crank rotary beater and named it after the hometown of his business - Dover - a name that is even today associated with the most popular collectible of cast-iron eggbeaters.
