The wooden handled "Edgar" is in working order with the spring intact.
The smaller grater has the swing door intact. There is a ring to hang on the back. Appears to be floral tack around the ring.
" "The Edgar" model, which was patented in the late 19th century. Nutmeg graters are used to grate whole nutmeg seeds to a coarse powder for use as a spice in cooking or for garnishing drinks like eggnog and hot toddies.
This type of nutmeg grater is designed to hold a nutmeg against a grater using spring tension, and a hand crank or roller is used to grate the spice. The design of this tool allows for an even distribution of grated nutmeg without the risk of accidentally grating one's fingers. The grater also typically includes a compartment for storing the nutmeg seed between uses." Ai
