It is a very old electric can opener. I have my mom's and then I bought another one at a thrift store. I think this was the first version of an electric can opener. Now you have the ones with batteries that break every 2 seconds. Mine is on the kitchen counter, it is old already, I'd say probably 30 years-old and still kicking.... My cat would come running every time it hears the noise, always thinking I'm opening a can of cat food or tuna :) So do you remember this kind of can opener? Please SHARE if you do.....
