W. F. & John Barnes Foot Powered Velocipede Shaper / Former  The Barnes shaper / former is one of the harder to find of all the many different foot powered machines that this famous company from Rockford Ill. put out. They were in business roughly from the 1870's to the 1920's. From visiting some informational sites I have figured out that this is a second model using the flat drive belt with holes as opposed to the earlier design using round belts.  It is marked with the Barnes name and 2 patent dates on the frame. The table is original and marked 7635. I saw one site that had a chart to date it from that number but could not find it the next time I looked. Here is the address to another site that has a pretty complete history of the machine and its development. http://www.footpoweredmachinery.com

The condition is nice. I see no casting problems or cracks. The table is original and marked 7635.The original belt is OK. The seat is damage free. It spins freely. One of the ideas with these is that they could be run in either direction to help with working with the grain. There is just one cutter. I can break it down and box it, but imagine it is going to be several hundred unless you the buyer are here on the west coast.

Unusual & Nice!!

W. F. & J Barnes Former - Foot Powered Shaper This unusual Barnes foot powered former is in great condition. There are areas with some caked on dirt and grease, but most of the original paint and decorations remains. Much of it visible now. It comes with several new belts, and also a box of cutters that are the correct size. The table is original right down to a couple of tight age cracks.

Barnes first introduced their former in the 1870s and they were offered into the 1930s. The first model was run by a round belt, but this is the improved model that was powered by a flat belt with holes. There is a very informative and comprehensive discussion of these machines at the website http://www.footpoweredmachinery.com/manufacturers/barnes-wfj/machines/formershaper/   That article is well worth the read.

It has a great look. I see no casting problems or cracks. The table is original. Later tables were larger and more square. The cast iron seat is damage free. It spins freely. I can break it down and box it, but imagine shipping is going to be several hundred unless you are here on the west coast. This Barnes Former / Shaper will be a welcome addition to the advanced antique tool collection.

Barnes # 3 Woodworking Lathe I believe this Barnes Lathe is designated as a #3. It would have started life out as a foot powered lathe, but the parts, including the flywheel and foot peddles, to make that happen are gone.  This was changed over to be run electrically sometime in the past. A new motor will need to be adapted as there is nothing here to facilitate that at present either.

What is here is pretty nice. The wood rails are original, straight, not all beat up and nice.  They are stamped with the serial # xxxx  The original tailstock is nice as is the headstock. There is also homemade gizmo for doing round work like posts or baseball bats that would serve to hold the work steady in the middle. It seems well made and suitable for the job. There are several tool steady rests from 6" to 3' included as well.

It can be picked up here in CA, or I can deliver it up and down the west coast for a small fee. Delivery to other places will be at cost through a shipping company.

Millers Falls "Companion" Combination Treadle Lathe & Jig Saw  This Millers Falls "Companion" Treadle Lathe with Scroll Saw Lathe was first introduced in 1885 and was not offered after 1922. The black japanning / paint and red detailing are original and in very good condition. Everything operates as would be expected. Lathe measures 26 3/4 wide, 17 1/2 deep and 31 3/4 in height. From ads its capacity for turning is 16". It was aimed at the youth market. The scroll saw is 7 3/4 wide, 25 deep and 14 in height. Includes two head stocks, the large tool rest and a small one. It has a great look, and will be a welcome addition to the collection.

Foot Powered Grinder Polishing Machine  I am not sure who made this. It is bigger and heavier duty than typical. The peddle has a logo I do not recognize and it is also marked #2 in the casting.

The condition is nice. There is one casting repair in the peddle area. It is period, solid and well done . Note the design of the bearings for both axles. Built to last. I imagine any number of different machines could be driven by this as the grinder present is simply screwed down and there are other holes for the belt as if there was something else mounted at one time.

Unusual & Nice!!

Braunsdorf - Mueller Circular Miter Saw aka - Dorn Patent Mitre Saw This unusual circular, revolving miter saw is marked Braunsdorf - Mueller and was patented by a fellow named Dorn. You can read all about this type of circular miter saw and see other examples and ads for them by running those names in Google searches.

The basic device is in nice overall condition w/ no casting problems or breaks. It has been tastefully cleaned. There is no saw but I believe most any well known makers miter saw would fit, be it Disston, Millers Falls, Langdon, Atkins or whatever.

There is a small curved piece of metal that acts like a guide for the circular motion missing from one track underneath. I put a washer there that serves the purpose for now. It missing does not affect the look or use and would be an easy fix.

Note it has two different depth stops or fences. Also note that the large fences operates independently of each other. There are numbered increment stamps to set the fences that are readable on the base as well.  Different & Rare!!

Goodell Pratt Peddle Lathe / Grinder / Drill  This treadle / pedal lathe / grinder / drill is in very nice condition and looks to be all original. The tool rest, outboard grinder and drilling attachment are present. Take a look at all the pics. This style lathe was offered for a number of years and by different outfits over that period. It was a popular item, and well received despite its small size and limited capacity.

Barnes #6 Scroll Saw  The operation of this model is different from most of those encountered  in that it derives its power from a small round leather belt and pulley system instead of the springy wooden arms which are typical on these saws. This example is in very nice condition and has no major casting problems or breaks. There is still considerable pin striping on the body, and it displays very nicely.

H. M. Quackenbush of Herkimer NY Pedal Powered Wood Lathe   The overall condition of this rare cast iron pedal lathe is very nice. Note the patented main chuck in one of the pics. It is about 26" between centers and a bit over 3" from center to bed. There are two different lathe rests and a couple choices for the tail stock. There is an assortment of additional tooling stored in the 2 drawers that have been added below the original wooden top. There is no belt but I see no reason it would not work and I see no casting cracks or other damage. It is smaller than a Barnes, but bigger, nicer, and better built than other smaller lathes like the New Rodgers or Millers Falls Lathes of the period. The flywheel must weigh close to 50 lbs. Please check all the pics.

There is a lot of info on H. M. Quackenbush the inventor / maker of this lathe on the internet. There is a history about him and the company at Wikipedia. I learned there he was most famous for his spring loaded nutcracker and the line of BB guns and rimfire guns he produced. There is some info on the lathe that can be found including catalog entries in online vintage catalog reprints for different models he made. There is also and entry and images of a similar lathe on the site www.vintagemachinery.org  That info notes that Ken Cope could not find an example to put in his book on antique tools. Very Nice!!

Barnes #3 Pedal Powered Antique 5' Lathe This is a super nice example of Barnes's largest and most popular pedal powered lathe. Over the years it was offered in several different configurations, with this being the final version. Barnes stopped production of these in the late 20's due to a number of considerations including the depression, and the fact that electricity was becoming available in remote places. They came in several lengths with this being the 5' model. The condition of the working parts is excellent, tight and ready to again perform any lathe related task given to it. All parts are original except for the rod to hold the seat up, and there is one small weld repair to the butterfly shaped bracket that holds the main shaft to the leg assembly. The belt will need to be replaced but is whole for the moment. The head stock and tailstock show little signs of wear or even use and are tight and nice. The tool rest which is the larger version is nice as well. These are not found very often, and the condition and functionality is great.

1876 Patent Shipman Scrollsaw /  Jigsaw  This is a neat looking pedal powered jigsaw I have never seen before, and would not expect to see in such nice condition. It  has an almost shaker look and feel to it being made almost entirely of wood, and having such graceful lines. Mr. Shipman pulled the patent # 183,029 in 1876, and resided in Rochester NY, and if I am not mistaken there was a Shaker colony up that way back when. This was bought here on the west coast  near Reading Ca. years ago. The condition is such that I doubt it was ever used.  It has been sitting on display for the last 20-30 years, and is now being offered for sale for the first time in that time. A super piece!!

Levin Jeweler's Lathe with Collets and Accessories  Everything in the first pic is included as one lot and as is. I took individual pics so you could determine what is what and see details as I do not know what to call half of it. Any questions are going to have to be pretty general as I know little about the details with this. All of what you see came as one lot and has been sitting on a shelf in one box for about 20 years. There was some surface rust on some pieces which I cleaned off with a soft wire wheel.

There are over 40 collets. All are marked Levin. In the last two pics I separated them into those with fractional sizes and those with #'s are in front. I noted that there are several the same size and there are 6 of one size grouped in the second row in the last pic. I am not going to list off the sizes individually.

I got all of the motions freed up and moving smoothly on the other parts. Some were frozen or very stiff. Note that the tail stock has a shim on the sole. The draw action works smoothly and I feel no slop in it or the tail stocks. Likewise I see or feel nothing wrong with other things that should move.

Lathe Attachment for Millers Falls Lester Scroll Saw   At least that is what the collector identified it as.  Very well made, and will clean up to be a great addition to that saw you have.   Unusual & Nice!!

Chicago Watch Tool Co. No. 5 Foot Wheel for Watchmaker Lathe or Dental Drill  This antique cast iron foot powered flywheel was designed to power a watchmakers lathe as typically seen set up in a watchmakers bench. I have also seen them used to power dental tools. I found an illustration in a reprint Chicago Watch Tool Co. catalog that gave the model # of No. 5. this style.

Made to drive a single 1" - 1.5" leather belt. The inscription cast into the frame reads "CHICAGO WATCH TOOL CO." The most unusual thing about this flywheel is that it has a pendulum drive. The user simply rocks his foot back and forth and a mechanism not unlike that of a steam engine connecting rod drives the wheel. The cast iron wheel is 21" dia. The operation with nothing hooked up is almost effortless. It has a great look.

Marshall Jeweler's Lathe with Collets and Accessories  This entire  Jeweler's or Watchmakers Lathe setup appears to be in very nice condition. Jeweler's or Watchmakers lathes are typically pretty easy to find, it is the accessories that can be elusive and cost a small fortune. This one comes with about everything you would need to have a complete and working setup.  The motor is there and running, it has a tool rest, the head, the tailstock, a three jaw chuck, a couple other chucks or faceplates mounted down below, a cross feed, approx 60 collets and a drawer full of misc parts and accessories. Everything appears to be running smoothly with no apparent damage or problems that you need to hear about. Most of the collets I looked at are marked Peerless and are in excellent condition with no signs of rust or excessive use. All in all a very nice set-up, and  if you are looking for a complete and working setup to start a shop or add to the existing shop you need look no further.

Small Treadle Powered Lathe This small lathe is in very nice condition, and there are no casting breaks in the frame or foot pedal. It is unmarked as to manufacturer, but is typical of the many different styles that were available back near the turn of the last century.

Star Pedal Powered Jigsaw  Star Jigsaw has been restored. It looks pretty good and seems to be operable.  I believe the table has been recast / replaced. It has a lip at the edge and so might be right and just buffed up for the restoration. Note that under the arm there is a tube and rod affair. This looks to be a recreation to represent what i assume was a blower to blow the dust from the work. The rest of this saw looks great and it is a very graphic and showy piece with its flared leg design and paint decoration. There is patent info up near the top, and a lot of original paint and decoration remain there.

Good . . . . $495.00        SOLD

Lathe / Jigsaw Combination  This has been restored as well. It too seems to be in operating condition, and the unusual little lather attached up front looks original and operational as well. It will need a belt to make it work though. The foot pedal looks to be a later wooden replacement. The tool box attached to the frame does not look original to me. I believe the table may be a replacement as well.

Good . . . . . $395.00       SOLD

Hobbies Jigsaw  This Jigsaw is as found.  It looks pretty good and seems to be operable.  It seems to just need a cleaning and to be tightened up, or bolted down.

Barnes Velocipede #2 Jigsaw  This pedal powered Barnes jigsaw has been sitting on the same shelf for over 20 years. It was repainted and restored when bought, and has sat  idly waiting for its time to come. The shelf is about 8' up in the air so it was a bit difficult to get any real good shots. I could not see any repairs or evidence of welding, but could not get all the way around it. Both the buyer (a collector), and seller (another collector),  were old time tool collectors, and any major mechanical defects would have been addressed before raising it to this resting place.  These Barnes Velocipede model jigsaws are becoming very hard to find these days. The price assumes there is nothing materially wrong, and if truly interested I can give you more detailed info.  

Good . . . . . . $1295.00        SOLD

Barnes  #7 Pedal Jigsaw  This pedal powered Barnes jigsaw is a bit less complex than the Velocipede offered above and was the more common model sold as it was less expensive. This saw needs a bit of restoration and reassembly. The original top needs to be glued back up, the belt is missing and the rod from the pedal needs to be replaced.

There is lots of original paint and decoration left, and the previous owner has applied a coat of clear lacquer or the like to protect it. This one will make a fine user with a little effort.

Good . . . . . . $495.00        SOLD

Challenge Jigsaw  This Challenge Jigsaw by Seneca Falls Mfg. Co of NY has been partially restored. It looks pretty good and seems to be operable but not all is correct or original.  I believe the table has been recast / replaced. It has casting ribs on the bottom and a lip at the edge and so might be right and just buffed up for the restoration. One of the foot peddles has a break in it, and the entire bracket affair to hold it in place looks to be made up. The rest of this saw looks great and it is a very graphic and showy piece with its flared leg design and paint decoration. There is patent info up near the top, and a lot of original paint and decoration remain there.

10 Saw Makers Hammers    You can find saw makers hammers from time to time, and they are usually found one at a time and / or at tool shows or tool auctions. The collector got these as a set, and his tag mentions that he got 11 for one money at one location. Well here are 9 from that set of 11, and what looks to be another dog face he got elsewhere. In addition to the dog face versions, there are also straightening hammers, and the very interesting looking cross face hammers.

A.B.C. Co. Stockton Double End Non Sparking Hammer It is in good original condition with a Brass, Bronze, or Beryllium head showing typical wear and turning on the ends. Handle is good and tight.

Google has never seen another. Nor have I.  I am assuming Stockton refers to Stockton CA given it being found near there. I am betting most collections do not have one.

Sioux No. 85 Double End Non Sparking Brass Hammer The hammer weight is approx. 10.4 ounces including the handle. Handle is about 9 inches long. The head is brass and is 2 3/4" x 1" and has some chips and flaring on the ends - see photos.

I read they are for use in tire shops and removing the stems / weights. Sounds reasonable although they could be used in a number of other light duty applications, or hung with the rest.

Good . . . . . . $37.00       SOLD!

"Eureka" Double End Non Sparking Hammer One side is marked with the name Eureka. This small double ended hammer looks good. It is non ferrous and made of copper, brass, or perhaps Beryllium for use in situations, or on jobs, where sparks could be a problem. Good original condition.

F. Raniville Co. Gd. Rapids Mich. Beltmakers Since 1874 Advertising Hatchet / Hammer A rare and unusual advertising hammer / hatchet combo tool.

The layout for the wording leaves a bit to be desired unless you were wanting the looker / reader to ponder what it all meant. A workable strategy I suppose. At first look it seems to read Franiville Co., and things come up for that, but the real name is F. Raniville Co. of Grand Rapids Michigan and one can find leather belting catalogs and other products under that name. Gd. stands for Grand, as in Grand Rapids.

Different & Nice!!

30" NOS Baker & Hamilton Blacksmith Bellows This super piece of California history is 48" tall x 30" across, is NOS, and was never used.  When I got it still had the original pieces of leather strapping holding it shut. Over the years there was some drying of the leather, but I believe that between the softening treatments I gave it, and the ones that you give it, this great piece will still be serviceable. There is one small 3" tear in the leather up near the nozzle end on one side, but this would be repairable without redoing all of the leather. The overall condition is wonderful and the stencil coming from California's most famous Hardware store is super. You just do not see them in this sort of condition, ever.

Peter Wright 202 lb Wrought Iron Blacksmiths Anvil  This anvil is by one of the premier English makers and is a pretty nice example. It measures approx 27" long and is about 5" across with a 1" hardy hole. The weight designation is stamped on the front face 1- 3 - 6. So is the Peter Wright name and solid wrought stamp. There are some dents and dings on the face from where the last user used this area to work. This anvil has a nice solid ring to it, and good rebound. There is minimal chipping along the edge, and no other damage to be noted. A nice piece!!

Free pick-up, or delivery by me along the west coast for a reasonable amount. Freight to other locations can be worked out.

Good +. . . . . . $500.00     SOLD!!

400 lb. Blacksmith Anvil  This Large / Heavy Forged Blacksmith Anvil weighs approx. 400 lb. The dimensions are listed off below.  In trying to figure out the weight and using sizes of other similar anvils, or a rough formula I found for determining anvil weights, it is 400 lbs. or more. I also took it to the local feed store to get it weighed, and their digital scale errored out as it approached 400. They said that meant it weighed more than the 400 lb. capacity of the scale.  To get it out of the truck I had to use a block and tackle with 5 pulleys, and it was still a chore to lift it.

I see no maker name or weight numbers on the sides or on the base. The only markings I can find are the two # 2's on either side of the moving hole under the horn. (see Pics). I know they DO NOT represent the weight as stamped numbers sometimes can.

The edges are pretty clean and I see no other damage. Again, look at all the pics. It has an even high pitched ring, and good rebound when hit with a hammer. The one other feature of note I see that might help identify it are the notches on both sides at the bottom. I did not see that feature on any other anvils in all the pics I looked at trying to identify this. If there is somebody out there that knows the maker, I would be happy to learn it. Thanks.

This anvil can be picked up here in Northern CA, or I will deliver it along the west coast on my schedule for a reasonable fee. I will be driving to Texas and beyond in late summer, but that is months away.   Beyond that it is going to be dropped off at a shipping place strapped on a pallet and shipping / freight costs are on the buyer.

Wilder Model 8 - 800 "ALL SHAPES" Bench Vise  A rare & unusual vise in nice original condition.

Perfect for the gunsmith, machinist, model maker, pattern maker, jeweler, hobbyist, etc.  The label on the side indicates a patent is pending. I read, but could not find a reference to these being offered in Popular Science magazine back in the late 50's.

You can then slide it back in hearing and feeling the fine toothed ratchet built in working. When you are close to tight a final push down moves it in a bit more and locks it. Kind of neat.

Wodack Electric Hand Saw Chicago Ill.   There is little info to be found on this early wormdrive skilsaw online. There is a you-tube video of one running, and they refer to it as the "Junior". I think Beastie would be more appropriate. I did read that Dewalt bought them out. The ID tag has a wealth of info stamped on it. The capacity was over 4" meaning it has a 10" blade in it. It was made by Wodack Electric Tool Corporation and was distributed exclusively by F. L. Rogers of Chicago / New York.

It is being sold as is. No guarantees or warranties of any sort. It does run. I plugged it in even with that funky cord. It about jumped off the table. The switch is not working. It is in direct drive. Be forewarned. It sounded a bit archy but did run. Note there is no safety guard. What you see is what you get. A great addition to the next hot collector group - - early dangerous electric tools. Different!!

Delta 6" Jointer No. 37-071 This 6" jointer is clean, sharp, and has seen little use. It is small and compact, and yet a sturdy and robust unit. It is ready to go back to work.

The table and fence are cast iron and it has simple yet robust adjustments for both the fence and depth of cut. It is very portable. Delta makes a stand for it or design your own.

The owners manual is a free download at the Delta website. I printed off the most relevant pages in English. Different retail outlets offer these new for over $400. A good deal here at half the price for a barely used tool.

19th Century Antique Carpenters Wooden Tool Box  This is a great antique carpenter's tool chest. It is very well constructed and in great condition. It has three sliding trays. Each tray has multiple dividers and additional sliding trays within the different trays or drawers. You could spend years filling this box with treasures.

The box measures approx. 40" across the front. It is dovetail construction. It has rolling casters under it. The two top panels on the lid are covered in leather. A super antique tool chest that looks great in our living room, but will look even better in yours.

19th Century Antique Carpenters Work Bench  This antique carpenter's work bench is approx. 80" long 2' deep and 33" tall. It has working vices at both ends. The vise on the left is 18" wide. On the right the vise wraps the corner. The base is original w dowelled and bolted joint construction. The top lifts off and the base comes apart to make moving it easier. Great patina and wear. Will make for a great accent piece, or put it back to work. The only apology is the missing rods to operate the vices, an easy fix.

19th Century 4 Tray Carpenters Tool Box w/ Dovetailed Corners   This is a very nice early carpenters tool box. The raised panel top is marked in painted / stenciled letters C.A. H. with a  second border color for a halo effect to create a dimensional look.

The outside has seen some wear, but is in overall very nice condition. The bottom is not rotten and all the dovetailed corners are solid.  Inside on one side are 3 layered trays. Next to them is a fitted tool caddy w/ handle to carry what one needed to perform tasks at hand for the days job. At the front is a deep tray for a level, saw and square. Under that is another hidden shelf for another level or similar. In the bottom portion there is a built in divider / rack to hold molding planes along one long edge.. There were 16 molding planes in the box, plus a plow plane, and one long jointer when I got this box in. Those planes are being offered separately elsewhere on the tool pages.

Most of the other tools seen in the trays are being offered on separate pages as well. The price is for the box and trays. This can be shipped Fed-Ex, or I can deliver it for a reasonable amount at some point down the road. A fine box that will display a small collection very nicely.

Eddy Patent Tool Holder / Screwdriver The patent rare & unusual screwdriver was granted on November 26, 1895. That date is on the blade. The # is 550259 but I could not get it to come up. I saw a copy of the patenr on another site, but that was it. A cute little tool I have never seen before.

The brass collar twists off so the screwdriver blade can fall back into the cast iron handle for storage. It is a bit over 3" long when retracted. It is a wonder the brass collar never got lost or that the thin cast iron handle was never broken. Nice.

Good + . . . . . $125.00   SOLD!!
