"Esccelsa" Vintage Chrome Pasta Machine

Where: Random Flea Market in NJ
Paid: $10

Was a nice, good-looking, Hand-crank Pasta Machine. Heavy. The chrome had minor pitting, and the pasta cutting/rolling gears have some rust. But they turn. I'm not certain I'd actually use this, but looks good regardless. I was pleased when the seller asked for $10. No Haggles, here.

Fresh Pasta!


The Machine takes up a very small footprint, and is rather heavy. There's the flat roller, Fettuccine-width, and standard spaghetti. The hand-crank is removable, to set it up for the proper roller.  The nameplate flips down for access/cleaning. 

There's a dial on the side with locking thumb-button to dial in wanted thickness/thinness.

Another great Chromed piece of vintage culinary history.
