Squeeze and Toast Kitchen Lot - 1 Vintage Wear-Ever Juicer, 1 Boxed Hot Dog Toaster, 3 Mugs and More

Kitchen collection featuring a vintage Wear-Ever cast aluminum citrus and fruit juice press, marked "Pat. 1936 Made in Canada" on the handle and bearing the Wear-Ever Aluminum trademark medallion. The press has a long curved lever handle that closes a hinged pressing plate down into a deep basket with a removable slotted strainer. The strainer holds back seeds and pulp while juice pours from the built-in side spout, and the press stands on sculpted legs with protective feet. Also included is a Hot Dog Toaster by The Helman Group in its original box, which toasts two hot dogs and two buns at once. There are three mugs: a "Best Farter Ever (oops! I meant Father)" humour mug, a "Best Mom Ever" mug with metallic gold lettering, and a holiday cardinal and holly mug with red scalloped trim. The lot also has a stoneware bowl with drip-glaze bands in brown and green, a grey and white ceramic pot with embossed rose detail, and an Elmo Sesame Street party cup. The juice press is in good working vintage condition, with typical surface scratches, age patina and some darkening inside the strainer from use. The remaining items are in good used condition. | | *Wear-Ever was one of North America's best-known makers of aluminum kitchenware, and its Canadian-made juice presses from the 1930s remain popular with collectors of vintage kitchen tools, valued for their solid cast construction, removable strainer and Art Deco-era styling. Novelty hot dog toasters are a fun retro-style kitchen gadget, and boxed examples appeal to both gift buyers and collectors of quirky kitchenware. Humour and sentimental mugs such as "Best Farter Ever" and "Best Mom Ever" make ready-made gifts, adding extra value to this lot.
