Antiques
of a
Mechanical Nature

Antique Tools, Technology, Scientific Related Antiques,  Americana, & Advertising

The main objective of this Internet Antique Store / Website is to help you buy or sell quality antiques utilizing the Internet.  We actively and seriously deal in a wide range of antiques and vintage collectibles in many different categories with a primary focus on Mechanical and Patented Antiques, Scientific-related Antiques, Tool and Technology-related Antiques, and what are known as Americana, General Store and Antique Advertising.  

Antique Consignment Sales

We can help you sell your antiques or collections of antiques and vintage collectibles.  

We use to drive 70-100,000 miles buying, selling and dealing in antiques, attending different antique shows, auctions, shops, and collector club meetings to do that. Today we primarily deal in quality antiques utilizing our two antique-related websites and the internet. 

The focus of our endeavors has changed from me trying to buy your antiques for the lowest possible price, and then reselling them for a profit, to helping you, the collector, spouse, or other owner of antiques, sell your antiques utilizing the internet, our antique websites, and our expertise and knowledge. 

Through antique consignment sales we are currently selling entire estates and collections of antiques and collectibles on our sales website www.Patented-Antiques.com for several different consignors.

Types of Antiques Sought

We primarily buy, sell, and deal in patented, mechanical, and vintage technology related antiques and collectibles spanning the era from the mid-1800's and the beginnings of the Industrial Revolution to just after the turn-of-the 20th Century.

We are actively seeking antique sewing machines (Pre-1870), American patent models and vintage salesman samples, antique surveying instruments, antique woodworking tools, and many other types of patented and / or mechanical antiques, related advertising, country store antiques, and what is commonly referred to as Americana from this era. 

This would include antique pressing irons or sadirons, early patented eggbeaters, mechanical apple parers, 2 wheel coffee mills or cast iron coffee grinders, and other kitchen and general store antiques. 

We sell antique and vintage tools, early office antiques, antique surveying instruments and related antique scientific equipment, as well as many other occupational and technological antiques from the home, workshop, store, farm, or office. 

The antiques we seek include early electric fans and antique electric motors, antique typewriters, early telephones and telegraph devices, antique toys, vintage sporting goods, and much more.  

We are also looking for antique figural cast iron pieces, antique lawn sprinklers, early corkscrews, unusual calculating devices and slide rules, plus related ephemera, catalogs and advertising. 

Unlike the current crop of antique shows, and what is offered in "antique shops" these days where 20 years is now deemed to be an antique, we still hold to the definition of an antique as being something close to 100 years old or more.
