Included in this lot we have an original wine press made by The Red Cross MFG Co. and originating from the early 20th Century. This piece is designed as a wine, cider or fruit juice press. It was created by The Red Cross Manufacturing Co located in Bluffton, Indiana. The press shows primarily oak and cast iron construction with some softer woods and steel used as well. The piece shows sturdy construction and features much of the original stenciling and finish. The sides show red stenciled patterns and are marked "The Red Cross MFG Co. Cross Bluffton, Indiana" in faded black stenciled lettering with one side mostly faded. The press shows a cast iron cross section along with a crank and spindle. This press would make a fine addition to any collection and would make a great decorative piece. The press shows good condition for its age and shows some signs of repair across the top. It measures 19" long by 16 3/4" wide and 38 1/4" tall.
