This
is a hammermill that is small enough to run with a hit and
miss engine.It is made by C.S. Bell Co., Hillsboro, Ohio. This
company is best known in this area, (NC), as a maker of farm
bells.
This is the oldest of our three cider mills. It was made by Warder, Mitchell, and Co., Springfield, Ohio. It has a wooden feed roller with spikes to grip the pieces of apple as they are fed into the grinder.
This is our Excelsior medium sized cider mill. We have used this mill in demonstrations at our local show. We have another one that is quite a bit larger, and marked #2 Improved. I don't know what the name of the company is, or where they were made. If anyone has that information, I would appreciate hearing from them
