French kitchen and table antiques

Is this in fact the original salad spinner, or essoreuse? It certainly seems to be. Made of galvanized metal and fully functional, it has an inner perforated basket inside the outer drum which spins when you push the handle down. The principle of rotation is exactly like that of an old-fashioned child's top (such as one played with when I was little!). Probably from the early 20th century, this is a wonderful collector's item.
