This bread maker had a dough capacity for four loaves and was awarded a gold metal at the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition World's Fair in St. Louis, Missouri, for its innovative design. The hand-cranked dough hook resembles hooks in today's electric bread machines.
The lid includes these directions for the cook: "Cover with this when raising Put in all liquids first then flour Turn 3 minutes Raise in pail After raising turn until dough forms a ball Take off cross piece Lift out dough with kneader."
