Product Description |
 |
This is a vintage food press of some
sort. It may have been used as a Pasta Press, a Noodle Press, or even a
Garlic Press. The top of the lower section unscrews so you could place
the item to be pressed. Depending on what you were going to press, it
has 6 different screens that determine the final size of the product
being pressed. The "T" handle threads into the base and presses the
product out the bottom. As shown in the photo to the left, it stands
about 8 inches tall. This is the compressed position. With the "T"
handle screws in the out position it measures more like 10 inches tall.
The base is 3 1/2 inches long and 2 1/2 inches wide. This is solid brass
and weighs 3 1/2 pounds. Yes, I found this in the galley of a ship that
was being cut up for scrap! $65.00 Plus Shipping

Here's a very nice mortar and pestle set. Made
completely of brass. The mortar measures just 2 1/4" tall with a
base diameter of 2 1/2". The pestle measures 5" long. This
set may be small but weighs just under 2 1/2 pounds!! The quarter
gives you an idea of its size (not included with item). Both
pieces are unmarked. This set has some minor surface wear.

This is a brass milk can. In the days before
refrigeration, cans such as this would be lowered into a hole in the
ground to keep the contents cool. This particular milk can
measures 7 1/2" tall. It has a partial mark on its bottom.
Has a hinged lid with a hasp. Carrying handle on the side.
Very unique!! Has some surface wear and could use another
polishing. SOLD

This nifty item was known as a tobacco car. It
was used to hold various flavorings while making cigars - each pan would
hold a different flavoring. The car is made entirely of brass.
It measures 4 3/4" wide x about 10" long x 3 3/4" tall. It is
marked on the back "Betel Motor Car" and has a tiger on the top of the
roof. Inside are five flavoring pans. Truly unique!!!
Has some light wear here and there. $55.00 Plus Shipping

I am not really sure as to what these are or what
they might have been used for. However, they are nice little
displays of famous composers. Each display measures about 4" wide
x 5 3/8" tall. Unmarked, other than the composer's name on the
fronts. I believe they are made of bronze and have been mounted on
wood. Nice set of four!! $225.00 for the set, plus shipping

This is a massive little food press, mostly likely
for pasta. It is made of wood with brass hardware. Measures
10" wide (tip of handle to tip of opposite handle) and 5" tall. It
is marked on top "LSN" and the number "3", as well as some other numbers
on the bottom. The bottom unscrews for cleaning or to perhaps
change the press to a different shape. It's very cool!! Has
some surface wear. $55.00 Plus Shipping
