NOTES
$Description: D:\Documents\WEBS\JuicerCollector-2007\Juicers\Images_2\Crown_Bullet.jpg$	I have identified these different basic types of Crown Crystal juicers.
	- Lemon squeezers
	- Orange squeezers
	- Perforated lemon squeezers
	- Large perforated lemon squeezers
	- Lemon Machine funnel
	- Tab handle perforated lemon squeezers for 1 pint jugs
$Description: D:\Documents\WEBS\JuicerCollector-2007\Juicers\Images_2\Crown_Bullet.jpg$	Colours and varieties of same design are listed.
	I have also identified tinge colours in the lemon squeezers, which may be deliberate or may be the result of bad glass batches. I have a few yellow tinged and a few green tinged examples. I have several smokey grey, which would suggest that this colour was deliberate
$Description: D:\Documents\WEBS\JuicerCollector-2007\Juicers\Images_2\Crown_Bullet.jpg$	If it is listed below then I have at least one sample of each in my collection.
$Description: D:\Documents\WEBS\JuicerCollector-2007\Juicers\Images_2\Crown_Bullet.jpg$	I have also identified different developmental stages of Crown Crystal lemon squeezers. In brief, the reamer (cone) gradually got larger during the production period 1929 - 1965. It is difficult to determine whether some of the differences were developmental or the result of different moulds being created for different presses and/or at different factories. Only obvious changes are recorded here. Eg. I have not included the flat and sloped areas around the reamer (cone).
	For a photographic comparison and catalogue evidence of the developmental stages of lemon squeezers, see Crown Crystal Lemon Juicers.
	First type juicers may have Mould Numbers. See Mould Numbers.
	When a listings gives Known numbers it means that these numbers have been found on lemon squeezers in my collection.
$Description: D:\Documents\WEBS\JuicerCollector-2007\Juicers\Images_2\Crown_Bullet.jpg$	The type numbers are my own and are only used to identify devopmental variations in this pattern. Perhaps, if some other researcher has other ideas, with evidence, then I will go with the flow.

Colour	Brief description	Dimensions	Detailed information	Collectors' Notes
Clear	Lemon Squeezer The ridges of the reamer point between the pip collectors I call this Type 1 May have Mould Numbers Known numbers: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8,10, 11, 12, 16, 19	Diameter 133 mm Height 74 mm Rim height 27 - 30 mm Weight 290 g - 340 g		These juicers were made from 1929 to 1960s. During that time the pattern did not change, however, the reamer's (the cone) orientation changed and gradually got larger. The catalogue images actually show these changes in the orientation and size. The later examples, 1950s/1960s had much heavier glass. The finish on later examples is speckled. Rim height: Included because it is indicative of different moulds. It may also indicate a 'small' squeezer These juicers are relatively common and are still being used in homes and school hospitality classrooms/kitchens throughout Australia. Tinged vs Coloured I will list other 'tinge' colours as I relocate them in may storage. Many of these may appera to be dirty clear glass. These tinge colours may be deliberate or may be the result of glass batches. I have a few yellow tinge and green tinge and will include these as I relocate them.
Clear	Lemon Squeezer The sharp ridges of the reamer point between the pip collectors I call this Type 2 May have Mould Numbers Known numbers: 17	Diameter 133 mm Height 74 mm Rim height 28 mm Weight	Not relocated An image with a link will be added ASAP
Clear	Lemon Squeezer The thumb grip has an embossed Map of Australia I call this Type 2a	Diameter 132 mm Height 76 mm Rim height 28 mm Weight 293 g
Clear	Lemon Squeezer The ridges of the reamer point at the pip collectors I call this Type 3	Diameter 133 mm Height 74 mm Rim height 28 mm Weight 350 g
Clear	Lemon Squeezer Large reamer (Cone) I call this Type 4	Diameter 13.3 cm Height 74 mm Rim height 28 mm Weight
Clear	Lemon Squeezer Very large reamer (Cone) I call this Type 5	Diameter 13.3 cm Height 74 mm Rim height 29 mm Weight
Clear	Lemon Squeezer Speckled finish Very large reamer (Cone) I call this Type 6	Diameter 134 mm Height 73 mm Rim height 60 mm Weight 425 g
Green (Uranium)	Lemon Squeezer The ridges of the reamer point between the pip collectors I call this Type 1 May have Mould Numbers Known numbers: 2, 6, 12, 19, possible 5	Diameter 131 mm Height 74 mm Rim height 28 mm Weight 327 g		These juicers were made from 1929 to 1960s. During that time the pattern did not change, however, the cone's orientation changed and gradually got larger The later examples, 1950s onward had much heavier glass. These green juicers are relatively common and are still being used in homes throughout Australia, while less common they are not hard to find. This exists with green that glows and is not uranium. A lot of green glass had manganese in it which gives a similar green. This glass with manganese glows orange/peach colour or a dull lime green colour.
Green (Uranium)	Lemon Squeezer The sharp ridges of the reamer point between the pip collectors I call this Type 2 May have Mould Numbers Known numbers: 17,	Diameter 133 mm Height 74 mm Rim height 28 mm Weight 340+ g

Green	Lemon Squeezer Very large reamer I call this Type 6	Diameter Height 74 mm Rim height 29 mm Weight	I have seen specimens of this type and will recheck my storage.
Blue or tinge	Lemon Squeezer The ridges of the reamer point between the pip collectors I call this Type 1	Diameter mm Height mm Rim height mm Weight g		These juicers were made from 1929 to ???
Amber	Lemon Squeezer The ridges of the reamer point between the pip collectors I call this Type 1 May have Mould Numbers Known numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6?, 8, 9,10, 11, 12, 17, 19	Diameter 132 mm Height 73 mm Rim height 29 mm Weight 345 g		These juicers were made from 1929 to ??? It is not likely they were made after the 1940s. Amber coloured juicers are relatively uncommon.
Amber	Lemon Squeezer The sharp ridges of the reamer point between the pip collectors I call this Type 2 May have Mould Numbers Known numbers: 17,	Diameter 13.3 cm Height 74 mm Rim height 29 mm Weight 330 g
Smokey grey	Lemon Squeezer The ridges of the reamer point between the pip collectors I call this Type 1 Not found with Mould Numbers	Diameter Height 74 mm Rim height 28 mm Weight		These juicers were made from 1929 to ??? Smokey grey - this is definitely a colour variant - I have several specimens. Compare the far right against the clear glass juicers in the image below.

Green Tinge
Yellow Tinge

Clear	Smaller Lemon Squeezer The saucer bowl is smaller The ridges of the reamer point between the pip collectors Not found with Mould Numbers This juicer may be a listed factory size variation???	Diameter 129 mm Height 71 mm Rim height 25 mm Weight 273 g		I have several, at least 20, specimens of this smaller saucer bowl juicers. Importantly the difference is easily measured. The ridges of the reamer point between the pip collectors as with type 1 & 2 The length of the longest vertical line around the bowl of type 1 & 2 is 18 mm while the length of the longest vertical line around this smaller bowl is 15 mm The 15 mm longest vertical line around the bowl is found on all the lemon squeezers with the ridges of the reamer pointing at the pip collectors
Clear	Small Lemon Squeezer Three quater size Possibly No. 179 - Small Lemon Squeezer OR Possibly a Salesman's model	Diameter 95 mm Height 56 mm Rim height 18 mm Weight		These juicers were made from 1929 to ??? This is very rare. I have seen three and two of them are in my collection.
Clear	Orange Squeezer	Diameter Height Weight		These juicers were made from 1929 to 1950's. All are very hard to find without any minor chipping. The juicer is very heavy and prone to damage. Chipping less than 1.5mm should be concidered acceptable. Larger damage reduces its value as a collectable. Perfect examples should carry a premium I have at least 3 different green glass types Uranium Green (glows brightly) Green that glows (not uranium) Green that does not glow. I have three, and seen one other, of the blue glass orange squeezers These blue glass juicers are very rare.
Green (Uranium)	Orange Squeezer	Diameter Height Weight
Green	Orange Squeezer This green glass may contain manganese, which will have a dull glow under UV light.	Diameter Height Weight
Aqua Bluish Green	Orange Squeezer This green is often called 'Coke' green after the colour of Coke-a-Cola bottles.	Diameter Height Weight
Blue	Orange Squeezer	Diameter Height Weight
Clear	Perforated Lemon Squeezer 2 piece - Small jug with reamer	Diameter Height Weight		These juicers were made from 1929 to ??? This is listed in the 1932/34 Crown Crystal Glass Co. Ltd. (Australia) catalogue.
Clear	Perforated Lemon Squeezer 2 piece - Small jug with reamer	Diameter Height Weight		These juicers were made from 1929 to ??? There are sufficient similarities to suggest that this was also made by Crown Crystal Glass Co. Ltd. (Australia). I have used physical features and buying location to make this determination.
Clear	Large Perforated Lemon Squeezer 2 piece - 1 pint jug with reamer	Diameter Height Weight		I have not been able to determine theproduction period for these juicers, however, likely to be the mid 1930s onward, until ? Very similar to those made in the USA. Check measurements Australia has 20 oz = 1 Pint. USA has 16 oz = 1 Pint These are very difficult to find as a complete set given that the measuring jug had other uses and often became seperated. Be careful that the green glass parts are either both Uranium or both plain green. These exist with green that glows and is not uranium. A lot of green glass had manganese in it which gives a similar green. This glass glows orange/peach colour or a lime green colour.
