Ran across this the other day under a work bench in a box, it was my fathers, he bought it in the early 50s when he did a short stint into homebrewing, mostly bottle bombs. Late at night you could hear them explode in the basement.
It was all rusty & dirty & neglected, had not seen the light of day in a 1/4 century, so with the help of my rotary tool, I removed all the rust, primed and painted this old Climax bottle capper. It now has a prominent place on my brewing supply table, not bad for at least 60 years old.
Might try it out on a few bottles just to see if it still works.
