1900s Polished Nickel French Duck Lobster Press Culinary Cooking Matfer Bourgeat
Located in Hyattsville, MD
Very good working shape. There are no cracks or chips to the iron. This item came from very old Washington DC French Cooking School Teachers Estate. Wheel diameter is 10 inches.
In the history of world cuisine, French chefs have been accused of being many things, but rarely ever "shy." The French tradition holds dear the notion of not only using every part of an animal, leaving nothing edible to waste, but also of celebrating certain dishes that that often make more squeamish diners fold their napkins away and politely excuse themselves from the table.
Used to create the most spectacular entree in classical French cuisine, the duck press is a device and method of preparation that was invented by a man named Machenet in Paris at the dawn of the 19th century, quickly becoming popular among the culinarily elite. The contraption, and its corresponding dish, canard à la rouennaise (or, "duck in blood sauce") was later adopted by Chef Frèdèric of the restaurant La Tour d' Argent (or "Silver Tower...

Vintage Gimbal-Mounted Compass by Wilcox, Crittenden & Co.
Located in Colorado Springs, CO
Presented is a Victorian-era gimballed compass by Wilcox, Crittenden & Co. of Middletown, Connecticut. The brass compass is beautifully constructed and fitted in its original wooden lidded box. The compass is mounted on a 360-degree brass gimbal ring system. The gimbal ring design allows the compass to remain level regardless of the angle of the base or how much the ship may have pitched or rolled on the open waters. The compass card is black and white and is marked with the Wilcox, Crittenden & Co. monogram at true north.
The company that would eventually become Wilcox, Crittenden & Co. was first established by Eldridge H. Penfield and his uncle Ira Penfiels in 1847 in Middletown, Connecticut. Middletown was New England;s largest inland port. Eldridge Penfield is famous for first conceiving of a metal grommet to replace rope grommets used by sailors. The Penfields hired Walter Wilcox, cousin to Eldridge Penfield, to operate the hand stamping tool that fabricated the metal grommets.
As steamships gradually replaced sailing, the company’s expanded their line to make and sell all sorts of nautical hardware and instruments. Their 1870 catalog offered such varying products as shackles, thimbles, ring bolts, “Ereful whistles,” engine-room signals, boat nails...
