Old Manual Crusher

[s2000]

Anyone hear of this type of crusher? Twin cylindrical crushers rotating. Never seen this type. On the handle it says "Savoy Press Mfg. Phila. PA."

Just wondering if I should clean it up and utilize or junk it.

Do not junk it! That crusher will clean up like new and you will be able to use it (to get 200 lbs of Delaware grapes this Fall and use you newly re-cycled 15 gallon barrel!). Also, as in my post on the barrels, I would be willing to buy the crusher.

I agree, that thing will work well but you just have to destem your grapes manually. Take some of your stems and layer them in while pressing to help retieve more juices better as it will let the juice flow better.

I agree. I have one that is just as old - works great.
