Charlottechicken Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 Well, my local charity shop had a bric a brac sale today and I couldn't resist this for just 50p It weighs almost 2 lb and is solid aluminium, the whole thing is 9 inches long and 9 inches high, and an impression on the handle reads "simplex - super, made Italy". The slotted bucket thingy fits inside too, and with it being Italian and all, I'm thinking citrus press? Anyone any ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 I'm sure you are right. I seem to think I might have seen one in an ancient relatives house years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 (edited) Yes, it's a citrus press. I have one that's very similar and they are wonderful and take the work out of juicing lemons and oranges. Well done! A bargain indeed! Mine's a Springbok and like yours, weighs a ton but looks really nice on the worktop! Edited September 22, 2007 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 Garlic press? Herb grinder? What will you do with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlottechicken Posted September 22, 2007 Author Share Posted September 22, 2007 Anyone any ideas how to clean aluminium? I just gave it a good wash with hot soapy water, but it has a bloom to it in places, and everywhere but the handle is a little rough. I took the bolt out that holds it all together and had to use a brillo type pad on it to smooth it down, but didn't fancy doing that all over it I will be back in the charity shop next Saturday morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
