Background on food mills:  The first food mills were developed in the early 1920s by the Foley Manufacturing Company in Minnesota. A precursor to the modern blender and food processor, the food mill was designed to purée and mash foods. The Foley models were made of steel and coated in tin to prevent rust and corrosion from acidic foods
This Foley Food Mill appears to be smaller than most I see listed.  The bottom is not ‘bent in’ much, i.e. others listed seem able to be set down on the counter as the bottom screw does not protrude; the screw on this mill protrudes beyond the bottom.
Patent 2051095
Condition:  Shiny.  Does not appear to have been used previously…or at least minimally.  There is some ‘unknown’ streaking on the interior, resembling tarnish.

ABOUT SHIPPING: MEDIA MAIL:  When an item qualifies for “Media Mail shipping”, I make an effort to minimize shipping costs for my buyers and opt for this shipping method.  However, arrival times can be lengthy (I’ve experienced up to 2-4 weeks arrival time!) and I understand there is a slightly increased risk of damage.  If you wish me to upgrade the shipping method for you in order to receive your purchase earlier or reduce the risk of possible damage, please do not hesitate to ask.  On ‘EXPENSIVE TO SHIP’ items, always happy to investigate a more economic option.  Just ask!  This item is located in a rural area; mailing is typically done once a week.  Please note shipping method - as this can greatly affect delivery time, i.e. Economy & Media Mail likely take much longer.  Weather & holidays can also affect delivery.  If your purchase is to go FedEx, fyi: it must be shipped the same day the postage is purchased.  Again, we are located in a rural area and that may affect shipping.  However, we have an excellent track record for timely shipping.
Also:  I am absolutely willing to ship using a more economical method for my buyers.  So, please feel free to make a suggestion.
Feel free to contact me with any questions before bidding and I will answer them as best as I can.
