Extremely Rusted Fruit Press - Broken Handle

Enterprise Manufacturing Co was founded in the 1864 and was located on the corner of Dauphin, 3rd, and American Streets Philadelphia...remained in business until 1956 when it was bought by Silex Co. It was a big Company!... This Item was used for pressing sausage, fruit, lard and apples. Date on this item would be around 1876....Thanks for this Restoration! Its nice to see something from my home town come back to life!

As a kid in 60’s and 70’s someone in my hometown had one and would sometimes loan it for some of the sausage. Mid 70’s I got a deer and borrowed it myself to make most of my buck into mixed sausage. I dutifully paid the loan in natural casing sausage-I bought casing. After I got married, my father in law and his brother owned one. We bought out the uncle and brought it home to use, FIL could ask for it whenever he wanted. After he passed it became solely ours. Ours is missing the pierced drum. I’ve been trying to find a good image of the artwork, it’s a little different but original, that’s on the front. Linked to your video, as I need to do some restoration of ours and wish to continue using it.

You prepped that weld beautifully on that handle!

This Enterprise press isnt just a "Fruit Press" This was also made by the manufacture as a sausage stuffer. Me and my husband have the same press and bought the original attachments used for sliding your sausage casings onto the spout at the bottom of the press. My husband uses it for making our deer sausage. On the spout, you will find 2 tangs/tabs which the attachments lock onto them

It amazes me how you remember how all the parts go together. Awesome!

You never do anything halfway. Your attention to detail, no matter how small, is impressive.

I do love the more in-depth videos with so many pieces of the project; it helps me to appreciate the restoration hobby much more. Well done and keep the videos coming!

Beautiful restoration on this old rusty juicer. I love the color you chose. It looks amazing. Best thing is that it actually works 😀 Thanks for sharing your video. Looking forward to your next one. Stay safe and healthy

Хорошая соковыжималка. Супер восстановление соковыжималки. 👍👍👍

Very nice work as always. One small detail. I noticed you used washers. So many videos show someone doing a new paint job then messing it up cranking down on a nut or bolt and chipping the paint. It annoys me.😆 Thanks for using washers.

Youre one of the only restoration YouTubers I've seen who removes peened pins by filing the sides rather than just grinding the whole head away. I always wondered why nobody did that.

Great job ! Now make a mini barrel of wine 🍷 !

PRETTY SWEET!!!

Fantastic job brother. Like from India.

That was awesome!

Well worth the effort. The rust is mostly superficial, and the press looks substantial. My relatively new German one doesn't look as robust. Sigh, I know envy is a deadly sin, but your workshop!

anyone else really like the smell of PB Blaster?

I love your choice of paint. And yes - the work you put into every nut and bolt makes them look stunning. I hope to see your faithful vice get some fresh paint one day. It works hard - learning to teleport can't be easy! 😁

Always show the sandblasting... its so nice to watch!

Fairly sure I've got one of these in my basement. Wouldn't dream of using it though. Nice job on the restore!
