About the Item

ABOUT A clock work, wind up "bottle jack" or "fireplace jack" is a rotisserie device used to keep a roast or bird turning in a fireplace to cook evenly. Signed "John Linwood Warranty," this antique from England dates from the mid 1800's. The original brass key winds up the spring mechanism and works well, turning a few revolutions in one direction, it then reverses for even cooking. The 6 1/2" diameter iron wheel has adjustable rings to attach several items to roast. CREATOR John Linwood Warranty. DATE OF MANUFACTURE c.1850-1860. MATERIALS AND TECHNIQUES Brass, Metal, Iron. CONDITION Good. Wear consistent with age and use. Missing one ring. DIMENSIONS H 17.75 in. Diameter 6 in. HISTORY A far better option was the bottle jack which derived its name from the shape: the mechanism is housed inside a brass cylinder shaped like a bottle.
