Title: Tiny Aluminium Rocket shape egg-cup
Post by: bradbury7308 on June 08, 2011, 05:00:20 PM
Ive looked and looked and found the tall lemon squeezer type of alluminium rocket shape pieces but cant find a start as to where this little one was made or when im guessing the 50s and its just a shame ive only the one. It does have age related dinks and scratches as would be the case but it has been well engineered at some time would love to know where i might start to look for information any names please welcom

Does it have a pointy bit in the centre?  Daft question I know, but if it hasn't, could it be an egg cup? - a very stylish one at that :)

Hi i agree anne defo an egg-cup stylish too i feel it was made at the time of the space rare era??
Maybe lots of firms made this type of thing but it does feel fair handmade quality then again all things used to be well made didnt they!!

How about this for a space-age lemon squeezer http://www.squidoo.com/alessi-lemon-squeezer-three-legs-starck
Very War Of The Worlds  :czy:

That design probably sparked off a whole lot of other three legged things 8)
