My mother used one of these. She’d smash berries dividing their pulp and juice. She did a lot of canning.
It’s looks like it could be a strainer of some sort.
I think its some sort of colander or strainer?
Popcorn maker :o)
strainer
I have no clue. Looks like some sort of sieve???
I think it’s a sifter. 🙂
This one has me puzzled. That leg with the black knob, Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm, the only thing I can think of is one of those old food mill
Now I think I know, It’s the bottom side of the food mill. And that knob is the handle on the crank thing.
We think it is the bottom of a strainer basket that goes in a deep fryer. Jan in TN
Looks like a strainer.
Looks like it could be a Foley food mill!
This looks like either a strainer or steamer…

Its a applesauce maker ? = )
strainer
I am guessing a frying basket.
A Strainer?
is it a spagetti strainer?
I think it is a skillet strainer, Valerie
A fish fryer? Used to have Sunday fish fries with my family at my Grandma’s house in Arkansas. Lovely memories!
looks like an antique colander press. do you have the wooden piece to press the fruit to make the juice? or
it could be a baby food colander, from the bottom. and the black knob is the part that turns in circles, to press the food through the holes.
It is a food mill, laying upside down! Oh the tomatoes I’ve cranked through one of those with my momma!
food mill/seive
It looks like a food mill.
I think it is an old fashioned sieve that you use with a wooden pestle to mash the juice from fruit when making homemade jelly or juice. My mother has one and has used it for years. Doesn’t look quiet the same, but they do look a lot alike.
That is a food mill!!
