I have an apple peeler, more modern day in size, but still an annoying contraption. A cooking group I used to be in made apple pies to sell at a bake sale, and we peeled all the apples with that thing. I wound up buying one for myself and almost never use it. It's actually easier to use a knife
OK, three comments - I LOVE history of things and the way things were, the olden days again!
Technically, it peeled and cored them, and they still make them. Funny enough, even though they are much smaller now, the technology hasn't really changed. "Old school" still works. I have a hand-cranked, double-barreled egg beater, too....just like my mom's.
There was a tv show in early 60's that was called "What in the World?" It would start with an object floating around in clouds. A panel would discuss what they thought it was and then at the end of show the object would be revealed. Very cool show.

We use the peeler still, to make apple sauce.

I have an apple peeler/slicer/corer I got at Mack’s Apples years ago!!!
We use a modern version of that for peeling and coring the apples for apple crisp. Peels aren’t that great in apple crisp or apple pie.
