A garlic press for mutant garlic... Is it Saturday already? OK, I think it's a mint for making money coins.

Oil then. With such a lever it has to be something hard. Grape stones maybe.

Nothing to do with grapes or the oil contained therein. Not a cheese press.

Looks like it could be an old cheese press. Still looking for a picture though... <edit>Here's a similar contraption - [home.btconnect.com...] </edit> WBF [edited by: willybfriendly at 8:53 pm (utc) on Jan. 23, 2006]

I guess wooden presses have a similar look. However, this has a very specific purpose. HERE's [images15.fotki.com] another one.

Potatoes. You slice them into small pieces and then you press the water out. Gives you starch. [edited by: pmkpmk at 9:02 pm (utc) on Jan. 23, 2006]

Not for gin or saddles. As I understand it, the contraption was used in the kitchen.

Well, I have looked high and low for both butter and soap presses, and neither of them match :( Perhaps a Paul Bunyon burger press? WBF [edited by: willybfriendly at 9:13 pm (utc) on Jan. 23, 2006]

Here's [images16.fotki.com] another one with a different look. This device can press what the others press plus more.

I didn't see anything about cider. I guess you could press apples, but I'm not exactly sure - but it's not for cider.
