Craigslist Comes through again!

[pjd]

I have been looking for a wine press and did not want to purchase a new one. They kind of seemed cheap to me. I wanted an old one with a cast iron yoke and screw in decent condition. I can replace any of the wooden parts but I wanted one that was very robust. This is the one I found today:
It also comes with two crushers and one 5 gallon carboy. I cannot wait to pick this up and take it home.

sweet deal! What are you going to do with two crushers?

I picked this up today, What a beauty! absolutely in perfect condition! I assured the man his press would go to a good home and I would make him and his great uncle that he inherited it from proud of it. He told me the press dates from the 1920s. His family immigrated a bit earlier than that and that they made wine every year since they arrived. What a piece of history!
