Silver
Plate Bell Cocktail Shaker by Nozima / Japan What a great
looking form for a cocktail shaker. No dents or dings, some
tarnish but not worn through to the base metal. The top comes off to act as
a shot glass and pour spout. The entire handle unscrews to allow
filling. See the pics!! A nice one!! Good + . . . . . . $60.00 SOLD!!
19th
Century Copper
Plunger Style Washer / Washing Machine Before
Maytag came on scene, there was this. A great looking piece for the
country wash room decor. The body is copper with a two handed wood
handle. In use there is a valve that opens and closes to help get the
perfect agitation for that perfect wash result.
Good + . . . . . $45.00 SOLD!
Foldex
Electric Heater Co. Folding Stove / Heater
This is a bit different design than typically seen. This folding cast
iron apartment stove / heater was made by the Foldex Electric Heater Company, Detroit Mich,
and was granted a patent in 1926. The body is cast
iron and has been enameled. It is out of a collection from a period
when cutting the cord was OK so it will need that replaced. Otherwise
it is pretty nice noting one chip in one of the wooden handles and some
minor chips to the enamel.
Good . . . . . $65.00 SOLD!!
White King Soap Saver Dispenser For over a
century White King was a household staple and claims to have been the
country's first powdered soap. This pint size dispenser jar is not
only collectible but functional as well! From the Glissman iron and
laundry collection. Very Good . . . . . $15.00 SOLD!
J.
A. Hill
Spiral Egg Grader / 3 Station Egg Scale This is a very unusual design
patented egg grader / 3 station egg scale. It is electrically powered and
has 3 different scales incorporated into the design where eggs of different
sizes or weights would drop off the conveyor as they crossed over each
station. There is also an
area lit from below where the operator would check the eggs before the
grading / weighing took place.The inventor or Patentee, Joshua A. Hill hailed from Canoga Park CA. Joshua A. Hill was granted his first patent # 2442689 in 1948, and that patent # is found on this ones ID tag. Note the tag calls it off as a Model B, so this must have been a slight improvement over his initial design.
He was granted a second patent in 1952 for a similar looking device. Both patents are easily viewable using Google Patent search with the relevant info. Beyond that though, one can find scant further mention of, or examples of this rare egg scale / grader. The overall condition is nice noting some losses to the paint, some minor bug damage and some loose solder joints on the spokes of the spiral conveyor. The motor works, but sometimes sluggishly and sometimes binds up or stops. I took a movie of it, but can not seem to get it to work for this ad. I did not test it with real live eggs.
A most unusual addition to the farm, scale, or egg related collection.

G
E / General Electric
Patented 1908 "Water Heater" Cook Pot Be sure to
check out the pic with the bottom of the strainer pot shown. G E is spelled
out as part of the design in the bottom using the holes. No cord, and one dent
in the double 2 wall container as pictured.
Early & Unusual.
Good . . . . . $30.00 SOLD!!
Simplex Electric Chafing Dish Tin Lined Copper
This early electric
combination chafing dish - stir pan was manufactured in the early 1900's. It
was manufactured by Simplex Electric Heating Co. Cambridge Mass. This example says patented and later examples have a patent date of Sept. 3,1901.
The wavy pattern on the lid was called a "fluted" pattern. It comes with good original
crew plug cord. It heats up nicely and gets very hot with a
3 position switch on the base. Stove bottom, pan and chafing dish are in nice condition with no
real damage.
Note the claw feet holding a marble. Each pan can be fastened or
locked to the base by moving the upper arm. A very nice example of an unusual early electric appliance.
Good + . . . . . $75.00 SOLD!!
Simplex Electric Hot Plate As above but
just the bottom unit. Probably sold this way or with a number of
combinations. Whatever the customer wanted / needed. It does
have the claw feet holding marbles. The heat is controllable. No
cord.
Early & Unusual.
Good . . . . . $22.00 SOLD!!
Shak-Rite
Electric Cocktail Shaker The metal
shaker is marked with a 1919 patent. The tag on the front says Patents Pending.
It gives a location of Rockford ILL. The serial # is 1698.
A Google search using the name Shak-Rite seen on the front plaque came up
empty. Further searches found an image of one on a poster for a cocktail
shaker exhibition / collectors meeting. I found a picture of that one
on display at that exhibition on its own pedestal under glass. It
seems it is a pretty rare mixer from what I have learned in speaking with a
few people. The lever seen on the front, incorporated into the plaque, is the timer. You set that to the desired time and then push down the lever and it begins to rock back and forth mixing up your favorite cocktail. This feature is working. There is also a rheostat on the side, but that does not seem to be operable, and is a all or nothing affair. After pushing the main switch it does run, but at times needs to be coaxed along. I believe this is an adjustment in the transmission inside. The main crankshaft tends to hang up on the upper most part of the full revolution it must make. I adjusted that a couple times, but in order to do that you have to take the entire thing apart and play with the adjustments found on either end of the tranny. It needs to be played with a bit more. The overall condition is nice. The paint is about 90% and the chrome is pretty good and will polish out to be better. Very Nice and Very Unusual!!

Favorite
Piqua Ware Salesman Sample / Toy Cookware Set
This is a legit and an early toy size cast iron cookware set. It is a very
unusual set as well. Favorite was a major competitor to Griswold and hailed
from Piqua Ohio. This set is probably as rare as the good Griswold set,
and a world better than any Wagnerware sets you see offered. Different!
Good + . . . . .$1950.00 SOLD
Rare Ice Cream Scoop
This unusual scoop is not in Smith's book. I could find no other
reference or info on it. It is much earlier and different from somewhat
similar ones you might see offered for sale. This came from an auction in
PA and was consigned by a fellow tool dealer we know. The inside of the
heavy nickel over brass cylinder is tapered.
First thought is so that the ice cream would fit into a cone better, but that would be backwards
when it came out. Different. Scoop it up!!
Fine . . . . . SOLD! $500.00 - $2000.00 Note: This scoop was bought in the hey-day over 20 years ago for $800. Offers approaching 2K were turned down at that time. It was later sold for $700 and a $100 loss. There is a lesson to be learned in there!
United
Banana Split Ice Cream Scoop
Not the typical Gilchrest model. Much harder to come by. Different.
Fine . . . . . $475.00 SOLD!
Patented
Folding Cast Iron Pie Rack
This is one of the nicest
and most unusual patented pie racks we have ever seen. The decorative
casting is wonderful and all 6 of the racks fold up. The look & feel of
this piece is super. We have several of the more typical twisted wire
varieties for sale elsewhere on this site, but this is a piece that you are
not likely to run into again.
Good + . . . . . $395.00 SOLD!!
Wireware
Pie Rack w/ Pie Pans
The sort of thing you use to see in diners and
bakeries. No provision like a glass cabinet to keep pests or flies
away.Good + . . . . .$75.00 SOLD!
Fucus Crispus Apothecary Jar
The bottom is marked "Drogueria De La Profesa J. Labadie Sue-res C-ia Mexico" or
something to that effect.
A Google search turns up plenty of info on Fucus Crispus being a type of plant /
seaweed with different medicinal uses. There is also some info to be found on the maker name
printed on the bottom. I believe it dates from near the turn of the
century. It is not new, or a reproduction.
Good + . . . . . $295.00 SOLD!!
Patented
Sugar Devil / Fruit Auger
This wrought iron sugar devil or fruit auger has a great look and great patina. These were used to break
up fruit or packed sugar in casks or barrels and there are several different versions that can be found.
This one has a patent date in the late 1800's on the shank.
You just do not see this sort of Americana anymore!
Good + . . . . . $125.00 SOLD!!
Patented
"George Washington" Lemon Squeezer
This is by far the most presidential
and most graphically appealing of all lemon squeezers! George's face is prominently
cast into the top, as are 13 stars and the patent info. It took me a while to
find the 13th star, but there it is right over his head. The patent date is
July 15, 1873, which may or may not have anything to do with George's birthday,
or wedding anniversary, or some important date having to do with the Revolutionary
War. Perhaps it commemorates the battle of something, or the birth of one of
his many offspring! Or the first time he had lemonade....... Or maybe it was
simply that the fellow who manufactured it, one G. A. Williams of New York,
patriotically identified his own initials with those of the father of our country.
But all joking aside, this freestanding lever-operated lemon squeezer is a great
piece of cast iron and is in excellent condition with no casting problems or
other defects, and still retains a good portion of its original black japanned
finish.
Good + . . . . . $295.00 SOLD!!
The
John Ladd Clover Ice Cream Scoop / Mold
This rare and unusual piece of ice cream memorabilia did not
make it into Smith's book on scoops.
I'm not sure how many different shapes or forms these came in,
but in addition to the pictured club, I also own the spade and diamond along
with some totally different shapes having nothing to do with the symbols on
decks of cards. As can be seen in the pictures, there are identifying
marks on the top of the handle and reference to a patent pending. I will
sell any or all of them for the same price. Here is an update, I was sent an ad out of a magazine for this
device, which pictured those offered, and it appears that they were made special
for use in fraternal and social organizations such as the Elks, Moose, Masons
and others. In the picture in this ad there was not a heart shape shown,
thus explaining why no one has found one as yet.
Good + . . . . . $495.00 SOLD!!
Quincy
Hardware Mfg. Co. Mechanical Popcorn Popper
Designed with an eggbeater-style geared wheel
to keep that basket moving back and forth, this super unusual mechanical popcorn
popper was granted a patent on May 24, 1892. More than likely this great
invention was thought up by someone who had developed a bad case of tennis elbow
from shaking those typical non-mechanical type ones over the fire. It
hails from Quincy, IL and the same company also manufactured a slightly larger
model, which I have heard referred to as a coffee bean roaster. If you
need that larger sized one let me know, because it is also available as well.
This one is in nice condition with two very old small repairs to the wire basket
which do not detract--if anything they add to the charm and remind me of a darning
repair stitch but using fine wire instead of thread. This
is a rare piece at a price that will leave you enough money to buy bagfuls of
that spendy "kettle corn" they are selling at all the shows these days---but
hurry because I think it's on it's way out already!Good + . . . . . SOLD! $50.00 - $600.00 Note: I have bought these in the past for as little as $20.00. During the hey day dealers were asking $500 or more for them. I seriously doubt one would bring anywhere close to that listed on eBay today.
The Spaulding Food Chopper
This is a very unusual chopper and far rarer
than the Starrett chopper that is typically found or seen. Mr. Spaulding took out several
patents for this device, and the action is so much more refined than what Mr.
Starrett came up with. First of all it not only goes up and down, but
the arm also moves the cutter in a sweeping or slicing motion at the same
time. In addition it also
incorporates a scraper inside the tub to help feed the material back toward
the cutter. Graphic, fun, and a highly unusual form. All that is missing
is the hygienic sterilizer feature.Good + . . . . . . $895.00 SOLD! Note: Given the rarity of this compared to the Starrett Food Chopper below, it was probably undersold. Never seen another!!
Starrett
Mechanical Food Chopper
These can be found in a number of sizes, from 1/2 gallon to monster 8
gallon institutional size ones or more.
This is one of the smaller sizes. The condition is nice!!

Unusual
Double Hole Cast Iron & Walnut Nutmeg Grater
We've handled a lot of nutmeg graters
over the years, but this is the first of this model that we have ever
seen. As with many categories of antiques and collectables, collecting
nutmeg graters was a lot of fun and quite a challenge. They demonstrate
a learning curve in the collectibles field, as I can still remember
my first Edgar, and my second and third, and I was still thinking of
them as rare, and still did not know that there were at least three
different versions available. After a time it seemed as
though we just kept on seeing the same 20 or so different nutmeg graters
and then the minute variations among them began to take on meaning.
Soon the rarity factor amongst these became blurred, and after
a period of time we realized that we rarely or never had the opportunity
to buy a truly new or different one and something was lost.
It was found again when we walked up on this at 5:45 PM after a long
day at a show with little to show for our efforts---then Bingo!
I guess that is one big reason why we all still keep at it.
It is hard to see in the picture, but the bottom of this tabletop nutmeg
grater is walnut and the top is cast iron with remains of original red
and green paint. The upper portion consists of two separate chambers
and a wooden plunger to hold the nutmeg against the surface of the revolving
grating drum. We have seen several of the biggest and best
collections of these unusual devices, and this one was not in any of
them. It is a good one!
Good + . . . . . $895.00 SOLD!!
Hunter's Toy Sifter
This
is the little one, the toy or salesman sample version of the classic
Hunter tin flour sifter. Measuring just 2 1/4" high it was made
exactly like the full size model. It is stamped in relief "Hunter's
Toy Sifter Pat. May 16 71 Apr. 7 74 Buy a Large One".
According to advertisements of the day this was a promotional item offered
for free (plus 2 cents postage!) to anyone who mentioned where the ad
was seen, and was meant to show how the large sifter worked and also
to "afford amusement to any little girl". This example is in very
nice overall condition noting a very small tear in the mesh screen.
This is the first of these we have ever had the pleasure to offer for
sale.

"Mickey Mouse" Knife Sharpener

December 25 Yellow Ware Meat Tenderizer
This is in nice condition. An odd choice of material for a
meat tenderizer, but it was awarded a patent, and on Christmas Day
no less. Merry X-Mass.

Potato Chip / Vegetable Ribbon Slicer
This is a neat little device. It works
well with potatoes, but would also work on apples or other similar fruits and
vegetables. It cuts a thin long ribbon of the vegetable for frying or
other cooking. You just do not see this sort of early Kitchenalia / Americana anymore!Very Good + . . . . . . . $95.00 SOLD!
The
Cannonball Coffee Roaster
This revolving coffee roaster is a
Patented idea that is commonly referred to as the cannonball. It comes in
2 sizes that I know of and both are very hard to find complete.
They are oftentimes missing the base or ring. This one is
complete.

Thayer
Patent Combination Tool This is by the same
fellow who patented the famous Thayer Patent Hammer. I have seen ads for

pot lifter, and ?????Very Good +. . . . . . .$65.00 SOLD!
19th Century Sugar Devil
This wrought
iron sugar devil or fruit auger has a great look and great patina. These were

1800's on the shank. You just do not see this sort of Americana anymore!Very Good + . . . . . . .$225.00 SOLD!
"The
Bellows" Patented Nutmeg Grater This
variation of the Bellows nutmeg grater is designed to screw to the Hoosier
cabinet or
other kitchen cabinet as opposed to clamp on like the one above. Same patent just a
different means to hang it. It is operable and there is no damage or cracks. An interesting piece of genuine Americana from the past. Good + . . . . . .$195.00 SOLD!
Patented Edgar Nutmeg Grater
/ First Model The
Edger is a very common nutmeg, but this is a pretty hard to find 1 model variation
w/ cast iron frame.
Note how the upper slide portion is cast iron and has the patent info cast
into it.
Later versions have just bent wire in this area. You will see 100 of those later
models
for every one of this earlier version. That and the condition of this one is super!!
Fine . . . . .$95.00 SOLD!
"The
Bellows" Patented Nutmeg Grater This
cast iron nutmeg grater is a pretty unusual 19th Century antique kitchen gadget. This style Nutmeg
grater is commonly referred to
as "The Bellows" because of the shape. There are several different
variations that can be found. One has no clamp, and screw holes so you
could attach it to your Hoosier cabinet
or table. Anther has a different style handle, yet another has a different style latch
to close it, etc.It is a super nice casting, and the open heart like handle design is great. It is operable and there is no damage or cracks. It is written that in olden times Nutmeg was used a lot to hide the rancid flavors of bad meat. That is given as the reason for the pocket style ones you encounter. Nutmeg is used today to flavor baked goods, soups and stews. An interesting piece of genuine Americana from the past.

The EZY Raisin Seeder
Patented on July 21, 1895, this unusual
version of a raisin seeder is one of the most dainty and fragile of designs.
The patent information, along with the sage advice "Scald The Raisins",
is cast into the curvilinear lever arm. The idea with these devices was
that before the era of the Thompson Seedless, you literally had to squeeze all
those pesky little seeds out of your raisins before use. There were a
number of different versions and variations produced, with this style being
one of the harder-to-find and certainly one of the most graphically appealing.
There were many patents pulled for various seeders up until the advent of seedless
grapes, at which point the lucky housewife got to throw these devices into the
back of the drawer, where I found this one last year. Countless Yankee
inventors could now redirected their attentions, searching for the next wave
of labor-saving kitchen inventions. Those that embraced the next new technology
of electricity were destined to succeed and prosper, while the gear-and-crank
guys got left behind and invariably were soon forced out of business.
Kind of like what's happening in today's world. This example of yesteryear's
necessity has nearly all of its original black japanning, and also has the receiving
cup which is often missing. It is all original and in very nice condition.
Three of the seeding wires have come undone or are broken, but this is merely
cosmetic to the overall condition.
Fine . . . . .$395.00 SOLD!
Antique Mechanical Nutmeg Grater Nutmeg
graters are a fun collectible. This one is typically referred to
as the stovepipe because of its shape. They use to
turn up more often, but nowadays seem genuinely hard to find.

General Electric "Elec Water Heater"
No cord, and it looks like a weird one that hooks up sideways underneath. Note
the little marble like feet. Different & Nice. Good + . . . . . $25.00 SOLD!!
"Speed Way" Wife Saver by "Electro-Magnetic Tool Co."
What a name. Aimed at the Wife? Or perhaps it would save her
from him somehow??? It looks like an early flex drive Foredom or Dremel like tool. It hooks
to the auxiliary stand, or I imagine could be used freehand. I have no
attachments or more than is shown. Big heavy and well made. The condition is as seen. Restorable. Different.
I will bet the other guys do not have one yet!! A real Wife Saver!!

Berkel Model B Meat Slicer by The US Slicing Machine Co.
The names Berkel and US Slicing Machine Co. are well known for their line of Deli meat slicers.
The Berkel line of deli slicers is synonymous with top of the line quality. This Berkel Slicer is the model B which is
the smallest commercial size slicer they made. The overall condition is very good. There is a plate attached on the side
with numerous patent dates from between 1908 and 1923. The serial # is B12721. This Berkel Slicer is fully operational. It has been lightly cleaned. It cranks easily, the blade spins and table moving back and forth, and in, as it should. The blade is nice with minor spots of rust that will clean. The sliding indexed feed table operates as it should. There is some nickel peeling in places. There is no sharpener, and the replaceable knob to adjust the slice thickness has losses to a few tabs as can be seen. It is still operational. The outfeed tray holder is present and the table is a piece of white plastic of some sort. Overall, this Model B Berkel slicer is nice enough that it could be further cleaned / detailed and used as is.

Josiah Anstice Co. Inc. No. 95 Sterling Slicer
An unusual piece of antique restaurant equipment that rivals
popular Berkel meat slicers in look and design. The Sterling Model 95
meat slicer
dates from shortly after the turn of the century. It is probably rarer than
a similar Berkel as there
is little info or other examples to be found using Google.There is a face book page of a collector / dealer, Giorgio Maschi, that has pics of a before and after restoration of one of these. That fellow, Giorgio Maschi, also has a website, The Worlds Best Slicers. One can find that at https://www.theworldsbestslicers.de/en/ It is pretty impressive.
The Josiah Anstice company was located in Rochester New York. At some point in their history they were associated with, or taken over by, the N. R. Streeter Company. You can find ads for this same model 95 Sterling slicer offered by them. Streeter is a well known name for some rare and unusual pressing irons and traps, as well as many other cast iron kitchen related tools.
Everything present operates smoothly with the blade swinging back and forth as it revolves as you turn the crank handle. The sharpener, a patented idea, is there and works. There is one area on the blade that has small nicks / pitting on the cutting edge. There has been overall nickel loss, and more is peeling It was taken out of service close to 100 years ago and has sat in a barn since that time. The bad news is the entire meat holding portion and sliding table has gone missing. This would be a perfect candidate for restoration and then use in a upscale deli / sandwich shop.

Vintage General Electric GE Luminous Radiator Bulb Heater
When fired up these unusual electric heaters, powered by 500 watt light
bulbs, give off a warm orange glow and
all the heat you could ask for. They really do throw off a nice warm
heat. You
can light one, two, or all three bulbs with the switch, and then watch the meter go round
with original bulbs installed. The original
bulbs were 500 watts each, but I have installed 3 new 23 watt energy saver
fluorescents.
Although not quite as graphic as the original bulbs, and surely not as hot, they look and work great. The copper
flash finish on the cast iron body is in nice condition and this will be a welcome addition to the
collection of times past when electricity was more affordable.

Early Patented May 7th 1896 Raisin Seeder We call this one the running horse seeder, and while it may not be the most mechanically involved of these unusual devices, it is certainly one of the most graphic and interesting designs that was introduced. Devices such as this were necessary back before the Thompson Seedless Raisin was developed, and the need to accomplish such a task was finally and I assume thankfully put to rest. Variations on the theme abound, and in the end designs such as those put out by Enterprise that literally squeezed the seeds out between rubber rollers won the day as they are as common today as a bunch of grapes are. Ones such as this, and the Magic by Antrim, and a few others are a different story though, and are very hard to find.

The Triumph Patented Pie Lifter The condition of this early pie lifter is superb, and the name Triumph and the patent info of April 14th 1868 stamped on the handles is clear and strong. A collection of pie lifters showcasing their seemingly infinite variety of styles and designs makes for a great display hanging on a country kitchen wall!

Patented Wood and Tin Mechanical Nutmeg Grater Unusual Nutmeg gratersare certainly getting harder and harder to find, so we are happy to be able to offer this one which came directly from a New England estate. This example is in excellent condition and works perfectly---just pull back on the spring loaded wooden knob to insert the whole nutmeg, then grate away! I cannot make sense of the numbers "1882" that are neatly painted in gold on the tinware body---it looks to be a date, but the grater is stamped with the actual patent date of Dec. 25 '77, so the 1882 number must refer to something else. And I have never seen this grater with a black painted body so I assume that was done by the previous well-intentioned collector. It too was done very neatly and does not detract in the least.

Unusual and Ornate Victorian Era Cast Iron Nut Cracker This exceptional piece of cast iron is unmarked as to maker or patent info. It has a great look and feel with the cut-out base design it has, and it is a wonder that the manufacturer did not want this info to be a prominent feature of the piece. It is set up to either be set on the table or mounted on the wall. A beautiful, damage free example of a very tough piece to find.

Child-size Wagnerware Cast Iron Waffle Iron Measuring a mere 3 1/4" across, or 4 3/4" with the base, these child-size waffle irons are a favorite of the forgers, and you see far more of the fake ones with the short stubby handles than you do real ones like this example. The condition is very nice with smooth castings and clearly marked with a patent date of Feb. 22, 1910 Wagner and Sidney, O. The other telling feature of the fake ones is the way the bale is done.

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.
