Wonder Rope WinderThe Wonder Rope Winder  This magnificent rope winder is one of the larger of the commercially made 5 strand models available.  This example is missing the wooden handle from the back side, but is in otherwise excellent condition.  These Wonder Rope Winders are tough to find, and this example is ready to go back home to the collection and be displayed, or be put back to work.

Good........ $295.00       SOLD



Ideal Rope WinderThe Ideal Rope Winder  This patented rope winder is NOS and has not been repainted.  By design it was meant to sit over a fence rail.  It is not a rare one, but the condition is rare and you will not find a nicer example.

Good........ $195.00       SOLD





Patented Butter or Ice Cream Packer  This unusual looking contraption was used to remove a given amount of ice cream from a larger container so that it could be deposited into a smaller one.  I have seen it offered for sale as both for butter and Ice Cream, and imagine it would have worked equally well for either.

Good........ $195.00       SOLD





Steam WhistleSteam Whistle  This small Lunkenheimer w/ a great Acorn finail is in super condition.  Ready to mount up to your Hit and miss, tractor, or small steam engine.   

Good........ $195.00       SOLD













Pelton Type Water MotorPelton Type Water Motor  Unmarked, but with the classic double cup design it is a Pelton.  From an era when water was plentiful, and cheap.  I bought this at a street fair one day as a forge blower from a lady dealer I can never buy anything from.  Lucky me.
 

Good........ $395.00       SOLD









The Monarch Double Slant Wheel Hog Oiler from Iowa  This is a rare and difficult to find hogoiler.  It is damage free, meaning no welds cracks or other major damage.  For those who want a short history lesson these were developed and designed roughly from just before the turn of the last century in to the 20's or 30's when the advent of pesticides relegated most of them to the scrap iron heap out in the back forty or down the nearest gully, where most of today's rarest and best ones come from.  During their hey-day, there were 100 or more different designs available.  The basic idea was that by using the hog or pigs natural tendency to rub, scratch and root, he would do that on or against this and when the wheels turned, the oil in the reservoir would come up getting on the pig and help to control the lice and bug problem as well as keep those cute pink ones from getting sunburned.  I have seen a couple of the best collections and have handled some great ones in the past, and this is a real good one.

Good........ $695.00       SOLD



Stoddard Cast Iron Tractor SeatStoddard Cast Iron Tractor Seat  This good looking cutout letter tractor or implement seat is in nice condition and does not have any casting cracks or other problems.  It is guaranteed to be old and original.

Good........ $125.00       SOLD






Steam IndicatorCrosby Steam Indicator  These  were used to tell you how well your steam engine or other powered device was running.  After attaching it and setting it up with the right springs according to the size,  it would draw you a chart showing the efficiency of your motor or stream engine.   

Good........ $395.00       SOLD







The NUWAY Rope WinderThe NUWAY Rope Winder  This unusual rope winder or rope twister kind of reminds you of a smiley face, and that is what you see on the faces of those who are lucky enough to find one of these, at just about any price.   It is all original and damage free.  The only info is Pat. Appl'd For and the name cast into the housing on both sides.  It is a five strand and the bottom center hook revolves in the opposite direction from the rest when you crank it up.

Good........ $395.00       SOLD
