About as nice as you'll find, this is a 6 quart center screw fruit or lard press, cast iron with a copper shell and metal basket. Marked on the press plate 6 Quarts P51 No 2 1/2. This beautiful piece has undergone an older restoration, leaving it pretty enough to sit on the counter as decor yet sturdy enough to throw some apples in and give cider making a try. Felt feet added to protect surfaces when used as decor. Excellent vintage condition: some very minimal surface rust marks on the bottom plate, clean and ready to work. Please see photos for further information on condition.

Attention eBay Buyers:

I do my best to accurately describe items listed for sale. Any chips, cracks, tears, stains or other noticeable damage will be listed in the description. If no damages or defects are listed above, it is because I didn't see any and the item is in very good condition. Please look carefully at the photos, as they are considered to be part of the description!  Many of the items I list are from estate, household, and yard sales and are priced low accordingly, but occasionally a flaw or defect may be overlooked or damage may occur during shipping. Some items may not have been tested to make sure they work properly. I try to note that in the description. Feel free to ask for more information prior to bidding, and I will answer to the best of my ability.  If you are not 100% satisfied, do not hesitate to contact me. I will do my best to resolve the problem.

Shipping: 

The shipping cost is shown in the shipping section of the listing.  This is the shipping cost you are asked to pay. All prices are based on ACTUAL USPS rates and do not include a handling charge. Sometimes, depending on your location, Priority Mail is feasible at the amount paid, in which case your item will be shipped that way. If you feel the shipping charge is too high, contact me prior to bidding, and I may be able to make an adjustment. If you would like your item shipped by another method (UPS, FedEx, etc), contact me and I will try to accommodate your request. We are happy to combine items to reduce shipping when it doesn't compromise the safety of the items being shipped.

Handling:

Each item is carefully packaged to ensure safe arrival at its destination. With the cost of boxes, bubble wrap, peanuts, tape, etc., I often spend more on shipping/handling than the buyer is charged.  I usually ship within two business days of the close of auction.  I will notify you if it will run later than that for any reason.
