Main Squeeze
In a fast-paced world with electric juicers and frozen concentrates, old-fashioned reamers are no longer needed to enjoy the tangy juices of oranges, lemons and limes. But they make a charming collection—not to mention a whimsical addition to any kitchen. “What I love about reamers,” says Neil Palmer of Crystal Hill Antique Mall in North Little Rock, “is that they have a utility, but they’re also beautiful.”
Reamers burst onto the scene after the Civil War, when it was discovered that citrus cures scurvy. That set the ball rolling for a slew of styles, beginning with simple hand held versions. Two-piece sets with measuring pitcher bottoms and separate reamer tops emerged in the 1920s. Other styles include saucer reamers, which are one-piece versions shaped like a disc, figural reamers and juice sets with matching cups.

A Whole New Spin
When pondering prized collections, items owned by children under the age of 10 don’t usually come to mind. However, in most cases, children were the first to enjoy the simple, vivid beauty of vintage spinning tops. Widely manufactured from the 1930s through the 50s, the cheerful whistling or humming tops brought smiles to the faces of children who were growing up as the nation experienced both world wars and the era of the Great Depression.
The small tin structures usually range from 13 to 24 centimeters in width and are most easily recognizable for a kaleidoscope-like scheme of rich colors, notes Sally Lieblong, owner of Arkansas Peddlers Antique Mall in Greenbrier, who admires the colorful toys so much she’s amassed and displays a significant collection. Many of the tops, including the metal ones without designs, give a playful whistle when they’re set in motion. These solid metal tops were precursors to the colorful styles of the mid 20th century.
