A cast-iron bottle capper with a tall vertical post, gear mechanism, and lever arm for applying pressure to seal bottles with metal caps. The machine has a red diamond-shaped label on the main body and is covered in a uniform layer of rust and patina from age and use.
The object consists of a base plate designed for mounting on a counter or work surface, a ratcheted height-adjustment bar, and a lever-operated pressing head used to secure caps on glass bottles.
