#47: Freshly Squeezed

Before our electric juicers came onto the scene, we had these. These aluminum or metal juicers made squeezing oranges so much faster and stress-free. It’s a simple design that will always work, no matter what. This cute and colorful countertop juicer makes the best glass of orange juice in town. 

We’re not sure when this juicer was made, but that paint might have lead in it. Yikes. That’s just one of the risks that come with collecting vintage kitchen items. Some old-school materials weren’t exactly safe for humans. Certain companies still make these old-school juicers, but they’re marketed as “artisan” items and cost over $100. Wild.
