How can I upcycle or repurpose this electric can opener

Question

My electric can opener stopped working a long time ago. In Spring cleaning, it was found and before I throw it into the dumpster, I want to try to reuse it. Anyone have any great ideas?

First thought is to see if you can put an empty can in the gear and use it for a plant holder. Paint it? Add sticker that go with your décor etc.

Take the magnet off. Glue something on it & you have a new refrigerator magnet. Cut the plug off at the very end of the cord. Smooth. Drill a hole in the middle, close to the top. Add a looped wire & a necklace or key ring. Might even be able to use the cutter some way.

Spray paint it a coordinating color to your kitchen, remove the cord and use as a book end for cook books.

Wow, some real outside the box thinking here! Impressive!

All I could think of is to (somehow) cut a slot in the top and paint 'Tips for the Cook' on it... you can rattle it and place it on the table at the end of the meal!

Use as a door stop. Paint a design on it to make it a conversation piece.

Hi: If it's really old, maybe your local, or a near by city, museum would like to have it.
