Antique extractor
« on: December 20, 2013, 09:08:58 pm »
I managed to snag this for $65. It is in really good shape, but more importantly, the craftsman ship is amazing. Incredible hand work on the basket. The top is a nice cast piece that simply slides into 4 pockets. It spins like a new one, nice balance. It's old enough that replacement parts for it were available in a catalog in 1910.

Oh, and it's Made in Canada!  ;)
