Anybody got a WAG bout what this is?
It's a Salometer, used fer testin the salt strength of a brine er cure. If yer gonna do a strictly salt cure, ya gotta have one a these. Much more accurate then just measurin er even wieghin yer salt. Had one an it got broke. Took a long time ta find nother one made in America an this one be an antique. The new ones er from France (screw that), this en from the Diamond Crystal Salt Co. an is in standard percentages. Had ta do some biddin ta get it, but it's mine now.
Got some more ham an beef recipes were gonna try out what will require the use a this. We'll post em up as we do em.
