NOTES
	The pairs of juicers below list Australian juicers that are very similar to juicers made in the USA.
	They are hard to find in the USA and other countries, although somewhat common in Australia.
	The Australin versions are on the left and the USA versions are on the right.
	In Australia there are arguments on both sides as to who copied who with a lot of similar patterns in Australia and overseas. Back then many patterns were borrowed. This applies to all glass and and other material such as ceramics, silver, etc.

Orange/Grapefruit Juicer

	These juicers are similar to the USA Sunkist reamers
	They are, I believe, N329 in Mary Walker's "And Many More Reamers"
	They measure approximately 5⅞" diameter. This varies a little as does the thickness of the glass.
	All images below are of the Crown Crystal (Australia) grapefruit juicer.
	The handle has a hole that becomes smaller towards the middle ('v'-shaped)
	The end of the handle is pointed, ie 'v'-shaped
	The top of the pouring spout is the same level as the rest of the rim.
	This juicer exists in clear, green and uranium green glass. I also have two very rare blue specimens.

	The Australian version measure 154 mm -158 mm (approximately 6¼") diameter. This varies a little as does the thickness of the glass.

1 pint Pitcher/Jug Juicer

	These juicers are very similar to many USA made juicers.
	The quickest way to spot the different types is by looking at the conversion between pints and ounces.
	The jug has Australian liquid measurements which include 1 pint = 20 ounces instead of the US measurements which include 1 pint = 16 ounces.
	The measurements are listed horizonatlly reversed. See below.
	The juicer insert (reamer) is distincive when compared to the many manufactured in the USA, although similar to some U.S. Glass Company reamers.
	While the Australian juicer insert is different to the USA juicer insert it is very similar to the Handy Andy reamer made by U.S. Glass Company. The Handy Andy insert sits on a simialar measure
	This juicer exists in clear, green and uranium green. The U.S. Glass Company version was also made in turquoise and pink. Similar measures were ade without embossed measurements.
