Ye Old Stuffer

[peepsight]

A buddy of mine picked this stuffer up a few yrs. ago at a garage sale ..... think he payed $30.00 for it. We've used it a bunch of times and this thing is worth every penny plus. I'm kind of curious about how old this thing might be so I'm asking .... has anyone ever of heard of Butchers Mfg. Prod. of Newark N.J.? It's an 8 Qt. stuffer built like a tank. Heavy gears and cast frame/push plate, aluminum cylinder bin. We had to retro fit some stuffer tubes as the old ones are beat. One pic attached shows an emblem that is beat up pretty bad .... not sure what it says .

Looks to be early 1900's based on the size of the parts... earlier models from 1873 were not as hefty... Intedge still is a manufacturer and distributor of kitchen type products... they probably bought the products wholesale from Butchers, mfg. back then and were selling them along with other kitchen products at the time.
