I found an old ad online for one but I couldn't find a date. It was $17.50 then. I wonder if any can openers today would last this long. |

It really was! I speculated 1963 as the date it was for sale and at $17.50 then, that would be the equivalent of paying $139.96! |

Sunbeam sold a model that cut the rim of the can during the mid-1960s I was wondering if anyone here has or had such a unit. It appeared to be a very clean design. It is model HCO |

Hi Cajun. While I haven't used that rim cutting can opener, it does look neat and stands rather tall. I would assume it would also be of high quality like other Sunbeam products of that era, provided it works as it should. |

I have two the first is a Krups electric and the other is a Good Cooks manual powered, both leave gaps in opening cans after a couple of years of use. I prefer this type of opener because they rarely get dirty and a more sanitary method of opening a can. |
