potato/bulb planter?

Hi all, can anyone help me please.When I was young,  my dad had a potato planter. Thats what he used it for, but it may have been a bulb planter? anyway it had long handles, you pushed it into the soil with your foot (as you do when digging) and pull handles apart, drop potato in, then push handles together to release the potato into the soil. I really think it may have been a bulb planter, but dad said it was for spuds....does anyone remember these, or know where I can get one?  thanks in advance.....
