Description

Amended description from Grey Roots Museum & Archives Kitchen utensil (for squeezing). It has a perforated basket area held in a red-finished frame and handle. The round pressing plate inside is impressed with a diamond-shaped trademark reading: "HANDY THINGS/ LUDINGTON MICHIGAN / U.S.A. / TRADE MARK REG." The basket can be sat on a table, and the pressing plate's underside can be seen if one lays the long red handle down to the table. The other side has a shorter, concave, fixed handle (the two handles align when the pressing plate is down in the basket). Makers mark impressed with a diamond-shaped trademark with "HANDY THINGS/ LUDINGTON MICHIGAN / U.S.A. / TRADE MARK REG."
