COFFINBERRY'S 



EXCELSIOR 



PRICE, S12.00. 



This Extractor possesses all the advantages of 

 neatness, durability and ease of operation, as well 

 as that of thoroughly and quickly emptying the 

 combs of honey ! 



This Extactor takes any size of frame smaller than 

 12x20. Larger sizes will be made to order if required. 

 For extracting four frames at one time, add $3.00. 



It is made entirely of metal, and is the best Honey 

 Extractor in the market. It is light, but has attach- 

 ments for fastening down to. a platform, rendering it 

 steady and permanent in position and exceedingly 

 easy of operation. It can be instantly taken to 

 pieces for cleaning, having no screws to take out, nor 

 heavy pieces to lift. 



Some of its advantages are as follows: The lower 

 end of the com b basket shaft does not revolve in the 

 honey below, even when 00 or 70 lbs. may be there! 



It has a strainer elevated some three inches above 

 the bottom of the extractor, and entirely covering 

 the canal leading to the faucet or honey-gate; there- 

 fore, when drawn off, the honey is clear and free from 

 refuse matter. This "strainer" can be instantly 

 removed, cleaned and replaced 



The Comb Basket having vertical sides, insures the 

 extracting power alike for top and bottom of frames. 



An over-motion and strong gearing is essential to 

 both ease of operation and effective work. By it the 

 motion can be controlled, so as NOT to throw out the 

 brood, when extracting. 



The tin covers close the machine up tightly, and 

 thus prevent the bees from annoying the operator, 

 as well as to keep it free from dust and dirt when 

 not in use. 



The handles are strong and attached near the 

 centre, for ease in carrying. 



It is provided with a small comb-holder for ex- 

 tracting pieces of comb or partly-tilled sections. 



The honey receptacle has capacity for 00 or 70 lbs. 

 of honey, where it may be allowed to ripen before 

 drawing off, if desired. 



The Excelsior Honey Extractor combines 

 all the advantages of other Extractors, and is the 

 cheapest thoroughly practical machine ever yet made.
