We get a lot of inquiries from folks asking what to do when they’ve found an antique meat slicer in need of restoration, you know, something they’ve inherited from their great uncle or discovered in their ramshackle shed. We do sometimes buy old slicers (send us an email with photos) or, maybe you’d like it restored for your own use.
If you’d like it restored, we can help you arrange restoration with the same artisan restorers we use. We’ll send your rusty slicer to Italy where our specialists proceed with what is nothing less than a magical transformation. This requires professionally crating your slicer, shipping it by ocean, having the work done, and then, of course shipping it back to you.
The restoration itself can take up to 6 weeks and with shipping, the whole process can take anywhere from 2 to 3 months. When your slicer returns, you’ll have a machine of stunning beauty and precision.
If you would like to arrange this, you can email us. We’ll help you with crating and shipping and give you a quotation on price.

My parents have an antique Van Berkel meat slicer that they still use. I’d like to find some replacement sharpening stones. Could you tell me where I might find them?
Thanks
Joanne

I have recently aquired a Van Berkel in original condition. I beleive it’s an indiana model (model B ?). It seems to be in excellent condition other than the body has been repainted red (the flywheel seems to have the original paint). However, it is missing the plate that holds down the meat and advances it forward with each pass as well as the sharpening blades. I guess I should have said what I have of it is in excellent condition. How would I go about finding the parts needed and what is the value of this particular model? I could e-mail pictures if that would help. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!
