The lady I bought it from said it came from her Grandfather's Italian Deli in New Jersey that closed in the early 1960's.She said the deli used it to make Italian sausages.It's a nice piece,8qt,it holds 16lbs.I also have a early 1900's 6qt Enterprise press.It's a real beauty.I don't think it has ever been used.

As Bob Hagel would say"You should not use a rifle that will kill an animal when everything goes right; you should use one that will do the job when everything goes wrong."Good words of wisdom...............
