Rising’s design would become one of the most successful parers offered by Goodell, second only to the White Mountain lathe parer. The parer was sold as the Turn Table ’98 or ’98 Turn Table Apple Parer. An advertisement introducing the “Turn Table ’98 Apple Parer” to consumers appeared in the May 19, 1898 issue of The Iron Age (‘Turn Table’, 1898, p. 46). Goodell viewed the Turn Table ’98 as the ultimate modification of Keyes’s original design. As per http://appleparermuseum.com/GalleyTurntableC.htm
