19th Century Grape & Apple Mill

PR

Late 19th-century wood-and-cast-iron grape & apple mill. The E.W. Ross Co., Springfield, Ohio, manufactured this press. It was made for the distributor A.H. Spangler, York, Pa., seller of agricultural implements and farm machinery. It is clearly marked on the wood. In fact, all the original stenciling is evident throughout the piece. Original. Most likely made between 1890 and 1900. It came off a ranch in Sebastopol, CA. Perfect for small-scale winemaking. 38” H X 20” W at base and 20” deep.
