Kitchen Press?

Postby lazyuniondriver » Sat Nov 24, 2012 11:53 pm

Came in a milk crate purchased at an auction filled with mostly basement workshop items but it looks almost like a kitchen device.

The threaded part unscrews completely out and can be switched end for end to change from a larger to a smaller size. The handle is 9" long with a plastic end grip.

It's mounted on a 9" piece of wood that doesn't appear to be very old, there are no numbers or letters stamped anywhere, front or back.

Bingo... And fast service... Thanks Bill.

I actually thought maybe it was a nutcracker but that seemed almost too easy.

A nutcracker for rich folks?

The only nutcracker experience I have is with mom's metal plier like device that resembled a jar opener.

The two different jaw size option also had me wondering.

If you look closely at the fixed jaw, it does appear to have the remains of a nut shell lodged in it so you have hit the nail on the head Bill.

Here is one from Munsey Products of Little Rock. I found it in a box of Mom's stuff that was moved to our house after she died. It is about 30 years old.

There are two ways to get enough Cubs. One is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less.

A Munsey Nut Buster... The only nut buster I know about is this kind, not for edible nuts though...

http://www.dhcsupplies.com/store/p/1247 ... ckets.html

Barnyard's model has smooth cups, mine has ridges or serrations, one of the details that puzzled me thinking it was for some other use.

Quite a complicated little piece of equipment for busting nuts but now I know beyond a doubt what I have.

As I thought a little more about nut crackers farther back in time, I remember grandma had a cast iron squirrel that when you messed with its tail, it would crack the nut you placed in its mouth.

Thanks guys.
