Traditional Wooden Fruit Press - Heritage Cider & Wine Making Tool #221037 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white illustration depicts a traditional vertical screw press, likely from the late 1800s, constructed of hardwood staves bound by iron hoops and fitted with a cast-iron screw assembly. The press includes a sturdy base with splayed feet for stability and a top plate that compresses fruit in a slatted basket to extract juice. The visible branding “EAGLE MEDIUM” suggests it was part of a standardized line of agricultural tools produced for small-scale orchardists and homesteaders.
