I don't think I could turn this press into a display item. Not while there's so many grapes to crush and so little time to do it in. We have several vineyards in Arkansas that offer grapes, muscadines and scuppernongs for sale to the general public as well as numerous mom and pop orchards and vinyards. There is no shortage of fresh fruit around here and around September and October I plan on putting this relic to good use. I am very lucy in that I have friends in all the right places. One works for one of the aforementioned wineries, another for a bottled water distributor (free glass carboys!!) and last but not least, the friend who is willing to trade his press. Life is good.
