Article Abstract:

The discovery that citrus juice has curative powers and could be used to fight diseases such as scurvy by the Europeans led to the invention of a device that would make easy work of extracting the juice from these fruits called the reamer. Unusual reamers can be found in various precious metals, particularly silver-plate and less frequently, sterling silver.
