Notes | Patented by JULIEN KOFF in England - Application March 26, 1930 & finalised June 11, 1931. This is inserted through the fruit (probably lemons at the dinner table) and the centre of the fruit is pushed out using the plastic insert. Then the fruit is squeezed to extract the juice. I have another similar to this and I also have one made from Sterling Silver. |
