We appreciate the help in the past identifying other items we have collected. Another item we've had in our vintage kitchen collection for many decades, looks like some sort of gadget for maybe whipping something up, but not sure exactly what it was used for. Has anyone ever used one, or know what this was for?

The last photo is of the Bakers Rack (in our antique and bar room) my wife set up where its displayed.

Nice shots! Coffee Press, French-style I think.

The big holes would let the coffee grounds through.

Large grind.

Definitely not a coffee press - no mesh to filter coffee, and almost always on one platform.

Possibly a milk frother or cream maker?

Ever seen an older one? The holes are offset.

Juicer?
Fruit squisher for preserves?

Not sure why there would be three rings though.

Because of multiple disks, I’d say it’s a milk frothier. Heat the skim milk but not boil it, fill this half way max, and with quick-up and down strokes it will froth the milk for caffe latte or cappuccino.

It looks well made, an investment in it's manufacture was made, so there must have been a market for it.

Mayonnaise maker?

I have seen one before, but it was many years ago, and I'm pretty sure it's a butter churn.

Thanks. It is similar, but no handle. And why all the different measurements?

We thought about that but couldn't figure how it worked. I've seen this size butter churns, but they had crank handles that rotated beaters. How would this churn butter? I've never watched it being done. I don't have a clue what's involved in the churning process.
