The donor’s father was a dairy scientist with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food for some 41 years. He collected old items related to dairying, and these items ended up with the donor upon his passing. He would go antique shopping in the Gananoque region of Ontario as well as trade some of his old clothing items. His exchanges were quite often for antique bottles found across the northern part of Leeds County. The donor further bolstered the collection with antiques from the eastern Townships in his quest to recreate a general store set in the 1890s in his basement in the Glebe neighborhood of Ottawa. Le père du donateur était un scientifique des produits laitiers qui travaillait pour le ministère de l'Agriculture et de l'Alimentation de l'Ontario pour plus de 41 ans. Il a collectionné des artefacts qui correspondaient à son métier. Son fils a contribué à la collection en magasinant pour des antiques dans la région de Gananoque en Ontario. Il a aussi augmenté la collection en échangeant ces vêtements usagés contre des bouteilles antiques retrouvé au travers Leeds Compté. Le but de ces acquisitions était pour créer un magasin général situé dans les années 1890-s dans son sous-sol à Ottawa. Dernièrement le donateur a aussi amélioré la collection avec des objets qu'il a achetés qui appartenaient de la région des Cantons de L'Est. - Function
-
Used to grate food to a variety of sizes during the process of food preparation. Utilisé pour râper des aliments avec des finesses variées pour la cuisson. - Technical
-
This grater seems like it could have been made for personal use by a local craftsman rather than by a commercial manufacturer before the industrialization and mass production of the late 19th century. It showcases two different types of grating styles on its body. La râpe semble être de manufacture artisanale. Elle présente aussi deux types de râpe dans une seule unité. Plusieurs ustensiles ménagers étaient fabriqués en tôle par le ferblantier du village ou de la ville au Canada dès l’époque coloniale. Ils étaient moins dispendieux. L’industrialisation au 19e siècle permettra la production d’items à plus grande échelle. - Area Notes
