I just bought an "Oasis #18, Hocking Valley Mfg Co." grape crusher on eBay, couldn’t resist the price. It is made some time between 1900-1949, so they stated.
The wood is “NAILED” together. It shows signs of aging including surface cracks. The crushing mechanisium seams to be made out of aluminum. All parts move well.
I need advice from you experts out there in how to clean it up and make it usable for next year’s harvest. I’m not talking about show room quality, just clean, usable and possibly sealed.
I copied some pics from the seller’s ad:
I will be great full for any advice.
