DR. HARTER’S WILD CHERRY BITTERS
Lemon | Lime Juicer
10 April 2013
Now here is an item that you do not see too often. A Dr. Harter’s Wild Cherry Bitters juice squeezer. Like I have never seen one before for a bitters product. Kind of medieval. It is pretty cool though. Looks like a mechanical bank. I cleaned up the pictures a little bit. Always amazes me where and how these types of products were advertised. Reminds me of the Reed’s Gilt Edge Tonic Clocks.
Ladystark (the ebay seller), medieval, I think we have A Game of Thrones thing going on here.
[eBay Listing] RARE 8″ cast iron mechanical lemon or lime juicer advertising Dr. Harter’s Wild Cherry Bitters. Milton George Harter was a medical physician. He established ‘Dr. Harter & Company’ around 1868 and in 1873 a factory was built to produce his medicines including Harter’s Iron Tonic, Harter’s Smoothing Drops, Harter’s Lung Balsam and Harter’s Improved Liniment. In 1885 they marketed Dr. Harter’s Wild Cherry Bitters. This Bitters would become very popular. Base and shaft are nickel plated iron. Black painted wooden handle on crank. The drip bowl of the juicer is iron with a gray baked enamel (granite ware). Excellent working condition and no damage or defects, but about 1/3 of the original nickel plating is gone.- ladystark (100% positive feedback)
