I have acquired a rare piece of cast iron and after about a week a of research I cannot find any information on it. I am hoping one of you knows or can point me to the right direction. I appreciate your time

This is a Wagner Ware Sidney -O- 1526B. 15" Tall 9.5" Diameter or 10.5" Diameter if you add the legs. Weights:15lbs. On the handle, One side says Wagner and on the opposite side has a 6QT. At first I thought it was a sausage press but after a closer look, where the meat is suppose to come out is not rounded. So I'm assuming it's an apple cider-Juice-Lard press of some sort.

I would like to know an approx. year and value, And again any info would be much appreciated.

It's a fruit & lard press. The stuffer attachment, which would allow for sausage making, is missing or was not purchased with yours. Wagner made them 1910-1940s, last published value (blue book pg. 273) $75. Since it has a catalog number (1526), that would place yours after 1924. Here's an older one (no c/n) that sold on eBay recently (listing even has a video):
