Up for sale is an 8 quart Enterprise cast iron Sausage & Fruit press in very good condition. This can be displayed or used. The sausage press is from the Enterprise Manufacturing Co. with the name embossed in large raised bold letters on the cast iron top. The markings clearly stand out. The large center screw, gears, and wooden handle all add to the vintage appeal. This not only is a great antique, but it is also quite functional. This has no cracks and is in structurally great condition. These were used on the farmsteads when families butchered their own cattle and hogs. Now hunters use these for deer salami. Alternately this can be used as a fruit press by pressing grapes for wine or apples for cider. This includes the large meat press plate plus the small fruit plate and accompanying fruit basket that fits into the press when juicing. The bottom cast iron draining trivet is also included. There are the spout and nut to attached to the bottom drain of the press which is needed for catching juices, ciders, or attaching the sausage tubes for stuffing. The meat plate is marked large and the fruit plate is marked small in large cast letters for easy identification. The press also has a good wood handle. The cast iron has no cracks. The good condition complete press is strong and usable for pressing fruits or meats. When not in use, the Enterprise press is a great display antique featuring vintage cast iron, visible large gearing, wood handle, and bold lettering. It is very unusual to find a complete press with all the parts for sale. It is more unusual to find cleaned up with gold highlights.
