1950’s Juice-O-Mat Juicer

[@larrycroft470]

John I never grow tired of your stories!! You are quite the raconteur !!!! Thank you so much for taking time to make these videos - they are wonderful.

[@yehudajayce2722]

i guess Im asking the wrong place but does anybody know a way to get back into an instagram account?? I was dumb lost the login password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me.

[@yehudajayce2722]

@Johnathan Cairo thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and Im in the hacking process now. Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@yehudajayce2722]

@Johnathan Cairo It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy! Thanks so much, you really help me out :D

[@johnathancairo2397]

@Yehuda Jayce No problem xD

[@Traderjoe]

A couple of years ago I drove to Florida for a few days vacation and we passed an orange grove that had a store in front and we bought some fresh squeezed juice and holy cow, that was the absolute best juice that I ever had. It had a a powerful orange oil effect that really cleaned your palate and you felt its energy coursing through you. I wish I had access to it now!

[@MadStiles]

Love the old contraptions they had so much style!

[@uktony1525]

John, Seeing the glass juicers I was transported back to being at home in the 1960s and squeezing lemons for pancakes on shrove Tuesday. Great memories and feel free to talk about anything as you have inherited Uncle Harry's ability to keep us all spellbound.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Tony- You certainly paint a beautiful picture! Oh to go back in time for a day...

[@rawbacon]

Scout must have finally opened his Tool Museum, I see a couple tour buses pulled up outside. I had forgotten about it until just now but we had a an electric orange juicer when I was a kid, as I recall you pressed the orange on top and it activated the switch and started spinning.......If you want to see how long OJ sits around in vats (with flavor packs added) then sold as fresh watch the CBC News video titled ~ *How "premium" orange juice is really made (CBC Marketplace).* Fresh fruit is a totally different thing from canned, juiced or most stuff sold in stores. By far the best thing I ever smelled in my life was a ripe (somewhat overripe) peach orchard on this Old Lady's Farm when I took my Grandmother there to visit her friend.

[@ScoutCrafter]

I haven’t had a real peach in 10 years! They taste like cardboard now! A “real” ripe peach is both messy and life changing! 😃👍

[@rawbacon]

@@ScoutCrafter Scout we gotta find you that 100 acres so you can start planting fruit trees & pine trees as soon as possible!

[@lewiemcneely9143]

@@ScoutCrafter A buddy of mine said that if you didn't get watermelon all OVER you, you weren't eating it right.Buddy, HE could get ON with it and it was just flying around!

[@johnrazor8720]

Gotta be a way to hook the Dake up to that thing so you can squeeze 3 oranges at once. ;-)

[@bobbyw9046]

We still have and use both an electric orange squeezer from the 60's I believe as well as a manual one from the 70's. When I drink OJ from a container it always gives me heart burn - whereas fresh squeezed never does. Yours is a real classic!!

[@juliaandrod]

Thank you for your sentimental video of the Juice-o-Mat.❤ My great grandfather, Henry Jacob Talge, started the Rival Company and personally invented this orange juicer.

[@lewiemcneely9143]

Thanks, John CS. We had a glass job but my Grandfather in Miami had the TREES! OH yes, the fresher the better! Thanks again!

[@jlborish]

My mom would always squeeze fresh juice on the weekends for breakfast. Sometimes things are better just left alone. Thank you for sharing, enjoyed it. 👍

[@michaelkearney8146]

That is an awesome juice machine. That must be very useful for fresh squeezed orange juice! Great video as always! 😃👍

[@ROD59]

John, what a beautiful juicer is amazing how you have all that stuff from back then and to see how well taken care of , most of us broke all that stuff when kids , thanks for bringing us back to a time that disappeared in history already.

[@melkc345]

I really enjoy the time and effort you put into your videos. I hope you continue the tradition for years to come. Thank you John. We had that set of glasses when I was growing up. Jim

[@805ROADKING]

Good stuff Bud!! Grandma in Brooklyn use to have the same one!! I use to go to the Roosevelt Theater on Northern Blvd!! They use to Draw Numbers from your ticket at intermission and give away all kinds of cool stuff, even bicycles!! Ah the memories!!☺

[@ScoutCrafter]

I remember that theater! The RKO Keith’s was the huge one on Main and Northern... 😃👍

[@bickle7207]

Reminiscing is something we probably all need to do a little more, always move forward but don't forget to look back, it's a much needed and worthy pursuit. The world has changed a lot in our short lifetimes, it's good to stop and reflect and relive sometimes. I think we need an old scoutmaster to put together a jamboree so we can all get together squeeze oranges and crank out some homemade ice cream.

[@LostMountainRestoration]

I love the way you respect and honor your ancestors. Now I have to squeeze some OJ like my Mom did. PS - I have one of those juicers on my shelf.

[@ScoutCrafter]

I’m ashamed to admit it has been years since I had fresh OJ... I too get caught up in the rat race but that fresh OJ rejuvenated me! 😃👍

[@colinfblair]

The old juicers were made so much better than the ones we have today.

[@cindiberg7718]

My mouth is watering from that orange juice. Love fresh squeezed.

[@2dividedby3equals666]

Fresh squeezed juice is very common over here! We have a plastic squeezer like those glass ones, but it has cutouts to let the juice drain to a container at the bottom.After I started watching you I started to pay more attention to antique glassware, and those old glass squeezer are, indeed, really pretty! Thanks for sharing, take care!!

[@surfstrat59]

You always take me back, my friend...🇺🇸🧯🔭🧰🧼🎸👍🏻

[@peter02048]

Great episode, John! PS: not sure what I'd enjoy more, an episode of you restoring a screwdriver or one with you drinking a screwdriver made with fresh juice!

[@jacobb.]

Beautiful design. I've never had fresh squeezed OJ. I'm missing out.

[@glengrossnickle4985]

Uncle Harry has nothing on you. Everything you talk about is interesting. I enjoyed the video. We only had the glass bowl press. Remember the taste. I don't have one now. I think I need one. Press some for my son. My mom collected stamps at our grocery store to get dishes and silverware. The problem was we never had a lot of money so we didn't buy a lot very fast. She would get two or three pieces then they would change to something else. Living at home I always remember miss matched sets. Love the memories. Stay safe and healthy my friend. Thanks

[@guataco]

You are like your great uncle. Always interesting. I believe RIVAL is still around. Again, thank you

[@RightOnJonCrane]

I remember my Grandparents would go to Florida and get out of Jersey for the winter and they would return with huge sacks of oranges 🍊 from Florida! We had a juicer similar to that one! Nothing like that fresh juice. So good! Thanks John! Great video. 🍊🍊🍊 ☀️ 🌴

[@ScoutCrafter]

“Snowbirds”! 😃. Lots of people from the Tri-State area did that! 😃👍

[@Everythings_Adjustable]

That's a really beautiful machine 👍👍

[@zacharybradley7260]

I think you got your great uncles gift of interesting. This juicer is better made than some cars these days. Thanks for sharing

[@markrandall1456]

Great story and you are right about the fresh! Thanks for the fun! :-)

[@jayhiz3514]

I have one of those and a Ice crusher. Nice! And thank u for sharing

[@joeheilm]

I love the juice with the extra pulp. I am planning on grafting some grapefruit onto my orange tree. Great stuff. Cheers

[@readysetsleep]

Love they added a pour spout in the design of the juice tray. Even though the corner would be good enough.

[@johnkelley9877]

We had a juicer that you pulled down the handle and squeezed the orange but it was tall enough to put a glass under the top. Thanks for sharing this, it was great to watch.

[@ScoutCrafter]

I think they still make that tall model! 😃👍

[@SteveMcQuillin]

Love it! Fresh squeezed orange juice is pretty easy to come by here in Central Florida. At my last house, I had a few orange trees in the yard, and this house I have several orange groves within a 10-minute drive. The form and function of your mom's juicer are perfect, a lot of thought went into it. I will have to keep my eye out for one, sure beats doing it by hand!

[@paulsworkshop4179]

Another great video! I love seeing the old dish and cup. I think my great uncle had those cups. The movie theater plates remind of a movie where the women got into a fight over getting a gravy boat at the movies. It was like a Gene Shepherd kind of thing. Funny movie, but I can't remember what it was called. Your dish also reminded me of getting plates in the supermarket and encyclopedias. The still did that at the Food Town and A&P back in the 80's. My mom always seemed to get 2-3 pieces and then she gave up. Great stuff!

[@tooladdict7463]

Amazing John you still have things from your childhood in that condition that brings back memories we had a steel juicer similar To your one I forgot about it till this video thanks for sharing I really enjoyed that mate

[@ScoutCrafter]

Ben- Most kids under 20 never had fresh OJ! Make some for your son!

[@jamesklauck8476]

Used them many times in the days of my "O so pious" youth. Enjoyed

[@janderson8401]

I remember us having a glass juicer, I don’t remember it getting much if any use after 1970. When I saw your glass I had to pause the video and show my wife. We have that same pattern in two different sizes.

[@ScoutCrafter]

You have to pick up a bag of Oranges and treat yourself and the wife to a simple delight..... =D

[@toolrestoration]

Gonna be on the lookout now for a juicer to restore

[@adude7050]

Great video! The grocery store in my town gave out stamps and when you saved enough stamps you got a complete place setting of dishes. When my mother passed away I was clearing out the house not only did she have a setting st of 8 in the kitchen but she had collected a matching extra 16 sets that she stored in the basement in case any broke. I gave them away. to goodwill.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Abe- We had something called S&H Green Stamps from the 30's to the 80's, it was an awesome idea!!!!!!

[@alexstools]

That orange press is so pretty. To big for a tiny kitchen like mine, we have a vintage glass one, as you say they work just fine. I told you before about my grandfather being a truckdriver. He drove barrels of the concentrate that's used to make the orange juice you buy in the supermarkets for quite some time. I think the boats with those barrels came from South America too because sometimes there would be big spiders traveling along in the shipment, wich the forklift drivers would try to squash with the forks of the forklift (man does my job sound boring now). Anyways sometimes a barrel would be squeezed while being moved, causing it to pop open or crack, and that concentrate would leak out. Now you didn't wanna get it on you because it is so sour (like acid) it will burn trough stuff, like skin and clothes. Thank you for your sharing your story, brought back some nice memories here too as you can see!

[@ScoutCrafter]

That’s amazing! Those spiders came with bananas too! 😃👍

[@alexstools]

@@ScoutCrafter Yes those are the ones!

[@reggiefaggart196]

It's fun to just see what you will come up with. But, I love fresh oranges. Had one today and do about 3 times a week. Stay safe my friend.

[@patjohnson3100]

Great looking squeezer. Still looks like new after decades. Well made of metal castings. At first I wondered if it was a Scoutcrafter restoration it looks so good. I really identify with your sense of thrift, care and maintenance. Good videos . Thank you.

[@namleets57]

We used to cut a hole in the end of the orange and squeeze it. Drink it straight from the orange no cup needed

[@setdown2]

Hey Scout I have one of those long arm aluminium squeeze types works fine...in the fifties we used it a lot...never soda in the house...peaches... well I picked up a peach tree at home depot about four years ago and started getting peaches last year and WOW juicy sweet peaches...i now have one peach..two cherry sweet and tart..one pear...one fig...two black berry..two almond trees and one gogee [spelled wrong]berry not all producing yet but coming on ..oh and about 40 strawberry plants which are fantastic...they do create more work but worth the effort...stay safe and get your girlfriend to do the squeezing..😜

[@ScoutCrafter]

Having fruit trees is such a smart move! Thanks!

[@MrDoeboy356]

You squeezed that video in just in time.

[@Ricopolico]

How right you are, Scout! And you need some BUTTER and MAPLE syrup for those pancakes. One thing I'm missing that I only found in Chinatown, are the jumbo-sized Florida oranges. My favorite uncle, Tom, would make a killer orangeade in the summertime - at least when he wasn't chasing skirts.

[@ScoutCrafter]

LOL- Chasing Skirts... Today that doesn’t mean looking for girls! 😃👍

Fresh squeezed OJ was always at breakfast table when I was a kid. Probably would taste real good now days with a shot of Kettle One added.

[@ScoutCrafter]

😃👍🍊

[@autoadjuster]

Growing up we had a cast aluminum press, you would press the juice right into the glass. It was painted not fancy like yours, but I loved using it. Today I only buy Florida Natural, its 100% Florida juice. I will not buy imported Oranges or Orange juice when we have the best oranges right here in Florida. I also use Orange juice in my berry protein smoothie in the morning.

[@bobjoncas2814]

...good one, enjoy your orange juice and stay safe..

[@johnfix1]

We made fresh squeezed OJ when I was young and it was great. Unfortunately with 6 siblings my mom's items got scattered. I did end up with her favorite knife and it is better than any you can buy today..

[@lordvengerx]

That juicer is a work of art I wouldn't want to use it haha. Laura is still a few hours out. So I got to see my Wednesday scout video :D

[@ArmandoLoni]

That's excellent product design.... No plastic rubbish then..... The good old days 👍🏻

[@Aubreykun]

Frozen OJ was a savior for people who couldn't get oranges outside major areas like NY, and it came about in full force in the 50s. My grandma used to buy it a lot. I should pick up some. Rival used to make a lot of things. I have a handcranked meat slicer they made and it's got that same bright smooth style to it. I think I paid 15$ for it. The problem with these gadgets I find is this: while they make the processing easy, the cleanup is a major hassle! Works if you have a whole party to make OJ or sandwiches for, but for a little bit on a weekend maybe the simple ones work well enough.

[@ScoutCrafter]

I will show my Can-O-Mat soon...

[@unwired1281]

Thank God Rival makes crock pots now or I’d starve to death. Lol

[@Samuel-sx1mq]

It's sad to think that some kids haven't tried fresh OJ. My best memories is my grandma's property in santa barba CA. We had a orange tree in backyard and a glass squeezer.

[@tommiller5014]

I'm a child of the 60's so we "advanced" to frozen orange juice by then. Still remember my dad opening the cardboard can, spooning it into a pitcher, adding water and stirring endlessly to get the frozen juice to dissolve. Combine that with Krispie Kreme donuts and some cartoons and that was Saturday morning!

[@ScoutCrafter]

The early Frozen juice was very tasty... =D

[@kathieharine5982]

Every time I'm in the market I look over at the oranges to see if they have the Valencia oranges. If they do have them, I buy some to juice.

[@altonriggs2352]

Love the Art Deco streamline look. Nothing has style today. Note: no plastic or Chineseaum.

[@jeffsalt2080]

We had the same juicer, but in black and white. Looks like yours is the Deluxe version. A thought on the flag pole... go to your dowel collection and find one that fits inside. Either the flag will rip or the bracket will break before the pole snaps. (Some E6000 will keep it in place)

[@ScoutCrafter]

I’m afraid it would rip the bracket out then! 😂👍

[@rafaelgsbr]

Here in Brazil pretty much every restaurant has fresh squeezed orange juice. We also can get oranges pretty cheap in most grocery stores. Usually 5 KG costs R$ 10 (that's less than 2 dollars). How much does it cost there in the US?

[@ScoutCrafter]

Rafael- Brazil is the #1 producer of Oranges! This bag I bought was $5.99! 🥴

[@planejet42]

They really made everything so nice back then! Both the build quality and design. To get something like that today, and made in the US, it would cost you a thousand bucks.

[@ScoutCrafter]

We have been getting some crazy September storms here and I worry about my old trees! 😕. Will try! 😃👍

[@GeorgeWMays]

Back in the 50's fresh squeezed was your only choice. Somewhere in the 60's suddenly the frozen concentrate became the rage, and honestly it was pretty good, more convenient, but not quite the same. Somewhere along the way the corporate retail stuff came along and folks lost interest in OJ.

[@esmpo1]

I used to get my juice in a jelly glass. Memories.

[@mrbenmall]

I live in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas. Lots and lots of orchards around here. My grandpa had one so we always had fresh squeezed. From concentrate is awful. However - I don't think those oranges you have are thin skin. They look like small navel oranges, because, well - they had a navel and the skin looked pretty thick. Still, way better than concentrate.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hi Ben- Unfortunately it’s not Orange season here right now and my choices were limited. I think these oranges were a seedless hybrid, our Naval Oranges have a very thick dimples skin- Easy peeling but not super juicy. I’ll keep looking! 😃👍

The Chinese do a copy of that juicer not so elegant and not so strong, it bends if you put to much pressure on the lever.
