Oh dear, that's not a nice poster for what was an excellent gadget! My mother had one, it was called a "Spong mincer". It had been my grandmother's and I wish I still had it - somehow it got thrown out because it was "old fashioned" many decades ago. It minced up leftover lamb for shepherd's pie properly, much better than using a food processor!
