Gotta Love Farm Auctions

[smokin218r]

A friend of a friend was at an auction.
Stumbled across this:

We used this type of stuffer every year when I was a kid helping out.
He paid a whopping $2.50 for it!! The table its mounted on is worth the two bucks!
Since they had no use for the stuffer and I had no use for a wood stove I got at an
auction for $5.00, we traded.
Working on getting it cleaned up and re seasoned.
Going to be put to work soon with a bunch of Owens BBQ seasonings.

Thanks Adam! When I was a kid, we had to borrow the stuffer from a neighbor.
I was involved with my Grandfather and uncles stuffing what seemed to be miles of
venison sausage.

I'm not sure how much it holds...
Someone else might know for sure, but I'm guessing in the neighborhood of 8lbs.

Thank You!!

No need for powder coating, remove the old finish and grime then season like a cast iron skillet. The seasoning protects the iron and makes for a smooth slick easy clean finish.

Thanks for the info fellas!!
Not sure if I will have time to get mine that pretty this year.
I will post some pics after I get it re-seasoned.

 

[smokin218r]

Got to looking at mine, and there is still some visible writing on the bowl.
It's a #25. So my 8lb estimate was right.
Thanks for the info!

 

[Phil Chart]

Thanks everyone for the info. May have to start picking

Wow I've seen them for for over a $100.00 at auctions around here. They can all so be used to press renderings for lard too. Nice find should last a long time yet. I guess the one we used was protected from the lard like you said a cast iron fry pan would be.

I'm very interested in seeing this in action. I've got one of those in my garage handed down to me from my Italian grandfather. I'll have to see if it is all there.

Just an FYI if you experience a lot of squeeze out around the plunger you can get a plastic disc insert for them. Can’t remember the company right off hand. They have other parts too. The one I have came with all the stuff to use it as a cider press.

One thing I don’t like about mine and why I don’t use it anymore is it leaves a bunch of meat in the bottom. Takes about a half a lot of bread to press the remaining meat through!

 

[smokin218r]

Thank you for all the info guys!!
Ray, it will be put to work next weekend.
Ill get some action for you.
Case, we'll see how much blow by I end up with.
The one we used when I was young didn't really let much by.
Warren, I have seen these stuffers on Craigslist around here for $250....:eek:

 

[smokin218r]

Ready to go!

Will be put to work tomorrow.

 

[noboundaries]

Looking forward to it!

 

[crazzycajun]

Man I have one I don’t remember what I paid for it but it was more than a couple of bucks. I just seen what there asking for them on ebay wow.

 

[HalfSmoked]

There you go hope it works fine for you. Looking for some photos of it in progress.
