    Hi all,

    I was hoping someone might be able to identify this object. My mother in law has found it whilst clearing out her old house. She thought it was something to do with ice cream but I’m not so sure. It appears to pump liquid through a nozzle.

    Any ideas are welcomed!

    Thanks in advance

    Pete

    Some manner of citrus-squeezer?

    Is it big enough to be a sausage stuffer? Something to extract fruit juice, from a fruit with pits?

    You mean a stuffing horn? (yes, that's what they're really called)...

    No, not a sausage stuffer - just not right big enough nor practical. But yes on a fruit juicer, juice flows down and out although not letting pulp through? If this is like a small fruit processor for juice like grapes or cherries I'll be pleasantly surprised.

    No, no markings at all which just adds to the mystery!

    See if it’s sturdy enough to crush peanuts, might be for seed oil extracting.
