Antique late mid to late 1800s mechanical bottle jack.
4.5″ in diameter. 14″ in height.
This antique bottle jack turns meat in front of or over a range or fire. First turn the key then suspend meat from the hook below. This particular model is missing its key.
The weight of the meat begins the mechanism that turns one way cooking your dinner evenly. The same mechanism used clocks of the time is present in this winding piece.
