CONDITION NOTES:

Looks to be in Good/VG antique condition with minor -to- moderate overall wear from normal use over the years. Looks to be missing a long rod (guessing it is used for leverage to apply additional pressure by hand - in any event, a simple replacement part). One side of original wood handle grip is cosmetically damaged (see 5th pic). Gears rotate smooth and we see no other breaks or repairs. All that being said, since we are not experts on everything we sell, it still may or may not need additional replacement parts and/or tweaking and/or repair to bring to full working order. Entire piece features outstandingly rich patina. See pics.

DIMENSIONS & WEIGHT:

Measures approximately 11" wide x 17" deep (including handle) x 12" tall (excluding handle). Total weight is 19 lbs. 11.5 oz..
