Mary Walker No. Reproduction of N-2248
Retail price  AU$6.96 (Big W)
Date 2006
Notes Made in China and retailed in Australia by Big W during 2006-2008. A similar pattern to an English juicer etc. and not really a reproduction. Available in clear, blue, green & pink glass. Note that there is a barcode below the tab handle on the right of the juicer.
There are blue examples being listed online with a tab grip which is very similar to the original English juicers although it is,especially the handle, much thinner. See below for the tab handle from later releases.
Update: 2018. I have purchased a blue and a green example with the same features as the blue juicer mentioned above. It has a barcoded label describing them as "Juicer glass azure" and "Juicer glass pistachio" by "Wheel&Barrow", a chain of stores in Australia.
