You might be able to find one at an antique mall or estate sale. It’s not a percolator, though, that boils water up through the coffee and extracts too much of the oils, often leaving it bitter.

I don’t think Clara’s family was really too impoverished compared to some (camp?), though she does admit Mom was good at saving what they did have.

Thank You For …
Thank You For Replying; Not everyone owned/processed domestic fowl, as zoning regulations, intelligently, prevent disease causing situations, plus growing vegetables/ fruits is permitted on the back, front, and side-yards, via the ‘Victory-Garden’ laws, but successful product yield/storage is the result of extensive study, and knowledge, also consider the fact that not everyone during W.W. 2 had the ground/container space to facilitate their growing/storage of food.
Cheers!
