Reproduction juicers - JuicerCollector

This page lists the juicers, reamers or squeezers that have been reproduced, stayed and still in production with noticeable changes, released as a commemorative, etc.

$Description: D:\Documents\WEBS\JuicerCollector-2007\Juicers\Images_2\Crown_Bullet.jpg$	Some sources will suggest an item is a reproduction when it may actually be a modern production by the original manufacturer. Some manufacturers have never stopped making some of their patterns. The modern version may be indistinguishable, may have new colours, may have slight size and mould differences, etc.
$Description: D:\Documents\WEBS\JuicerCollector-2007\Juicers\Images_2\Crown_Bullet.jpg$	Some sources will suggest an item is a reproduction when it may only be someone making a similar shape or pattern. This would usually be considered as infringing on a copyright or patent if it is done without permission. Whether that copyright is current or not is not really of interest to a collector.
$Description: D:\Documents\WEBS\JuicerCollector-2007\Juicers\Images_2\Crown_Bullet.jpg$	A lot of modern glass is being made using original moulds and/or dies. A lot of old glass and ceramic moulds have been bought by other manufacturers. Some of this glass and ceramic pieces can be indistinguishable from the older productions especially whn they are produced with all the original marks.
$Description: D:\Documents\WEBS\JuicerCollector-2007\Juicers\Images_2\Crown_Bullet.jpg$	Just because a juicer has some differences does not make it a reproduction. Older juicers were often budget items were quality control was not all that important. Older juicers were usually made using multiple moulds, often in multiple factories, and this resulted in variations. Added to this is time. Shapes were often improved upon over time resulting in the same pattern having noticible differences.
$Description: D:\Documents\WEBS\JuicerCollector-2007\Juicers\Images_2\Crown_Bullet.jpg$	If an old piece is created by making a mould from an original piece then size differences could be expected. While a loss of detail may also be expected this could also result from the deterioration of the old original moulds.
	This information is based on research and observations.
$Description: D:\Documents\WEBS\JuicerCollector-2007\Juicers\Images_2\Crown_Bullet.jpg$	Juicers are listed in material groups and shape sub-groups. Details on how to distinguish between originals and reproductions are given. Mary Walker Numbers are included where applicable.

GLASS

Shape attributed to existing juicers and juicer sets

Hazel Atlas 2 cup reamer - Mary Walker No. N-129

Reproductions have been made in Taiwan, China and India While the glass has a 'greasy' feel and some of the colours are just wrong, the easier way to pick the more common reproductions are; * The size and shape of the lip or pouring spout * The aignment of the embossed "MEASURING AND MIXING CUP" on the base of the jug.
Original #1 It is important and worth noting that even the original Hazel Atlas 2 cup reamer sets vary
Image inverted for reading - usually read inside the jug on transparent glass examples

View from the base		View from the top
The lip or pouring spout stands out, however, the size does vary.
The "MEASURING AND MIXING CUP" aligns with the handle and the pouring spout. Image inverted for reading - usually read inside the jug on transparent glass examples
Original #2
View from the base - the embossing cannot be seen from inside the jug and is read from the base.
The lip or pouring spout stands out, however, the size does vary.
The "MEASURING AND MIXING CUP" is perpendicular to the line of the handle and the pouring spout.

Reproductions

IMPORTANT There have be multiple reproductions of this 2 cup measure with reamer and hence several variations
Check the pouring spout and the allignment of the embossed "MEASURING AND MIXING CUP" if it exists Many reproductions are poor qualitity and have poor colours. Be careful that all differences are identified before classifying it as a reproduction. Some of the originals varied significantly over their production period.
Reproduction #1
Sold in Australia and it has a different reamer

The lip or pouring spout is very small (size does vary)
The "MEASURING AND MIXING CUP" does not align with the handle and the pouring spout. NOTE: The spelling of "MIXNIG" in many of the repructions. The allignment varies which indicates several different moulds and also the possibility of several manufacturer. Purchased in 2006, 2007
Reproduction #2

The lip or pouring spout is very small (size does vary)
The embossing is only "MEASURING MIXING CUP" aligns with the handle and the pouring spout. NOTE: The spelling of "MIXNIG" in this repruction. However, the embossing is inverted, even though it cannot be seen inside the jug. Purchased in 2007 and again in 2017 (I will compare the 2 ASAP)
Reproduction #3

The lip or pouring spout is very small (size does vary)
Not embossed Purchased in 2007
Reproduction #4

The lip or pouring spout is very small (size does vary)
The embossing is only "MEASURING MIXING CUP" does not align with the handle and the pouring spout. Purchased in 201 (Approx.)

The green coloured glass for the Australian market has a different reamer and was identified when purchased as being made in India. The Indian glass has a greasy feel. It was also sold in pink (very poor colour)

Reproduced by L.E. Smith
These are said to be identical in shape and size as they are being reproduced from the original moulds.
Additionally, some were produced for Martha Stewart's Catalog "Martha By Mail" and they are embossed with an 'S'.

Differences
I will continue to compare the specifications of my L.E. Smith reproduction with all my other Jeannette specimens to see if there are any other differences.
* My reproduction is not uranium glass while (some/all) originals are.
* The height of my reproduction is 4 mm to 6 mm less (⅙" to ¼").

Davidson Glass (England) - Mary Walker No. N-2248

Made in China and retailed in Australia by Big W during 2006-2008.
I have seen other modern copies that look more like glass produced in India. They have a much thinner handle.
I have a blue and a green example purchased from another collector which have a barcode label describing the colours as "Juicer glass azure" and "Juicer glass pistachio" by "Wheel&Barrow", a chain of stores in Australia. I have a pink example with 'Vintage Sisters' label
I am still collecting data on these as the appears to have been more than one importer and probably more than one manufacturer.
The foot/base rim on the original is 6 mm while the reproduction is 15 mm.

Arc Glass (France) Mary Walker No. N-243

These juicers are still in production by Arc Glass, which I do not consider to be a reproduction as they are just modern productions by the original maker.
If it is embossed "ARC FRANCE" then it is an original. Originally only made in clear glass.
They are also being made by Chinese manufacturers in clear glass, coloured glass and fired-on colour glass.
Sizes, the shape of the pip collectors, the size and number of hobnails, etc. vary
Note: I am still sorting out which are copies and which are modern by Arc Glass. I will separate the Arc Glass specimens ASAP.

CERAMIC and POTTERY

Shape attributed to existing juicers and juicer sets

Possible "ceramic class" reproductions

These juicers appear to be created by making a mould using the original juicer and creating greenware for ceramic classes or small scale potteries
Or they might just be based on original juicers.

Duck reproductions - Possible "ceramic class"

These juicers also appear to be created by making a mould using the original juicers or based on original juicers.
Most reproduction duck juicers have rounded base and most have a definite mould line on the base. The orginal Japanese duck juicer has a footed base.

Potentially reproductions or just modern

These juicers may have (or not) been reproduced by the German Doll Co. (GDC) from 2001 onwards. The reproductions by GDC use original moulds and they are marked with the same marks as the originals.
There other 'definite' reproductions of these juicers that are unmarked. these are most likely to be reproductions.

OTHER MATERAILS

Not all 'OLD' items are old

Some primitive style juicers are still being made, particularly in non-western countries. Some of these items are being sold online and in antique shops as 19th Century. They can be very difficult to distinguish as even the assembly parts are often hand made.
Why replace it if it is not broken
Most materials still used.
