Railroad Signal - $300

Item number 9967.  Here is one of those items that is too heavy to ship by conventional means.  It is made by GRS Co. and has the normal green, red, and amber lights.  In very good condition.

  Basement Pump - $25

Item number 9921.  Another item that is pretty heavy and probably can't be shipped by conventional methods.  It is not an antique.  Made by FF Myers and Bros. Co.  In perfect condition.

  Wagner Cast Iron Kettle - $80

Item number 8921.  The lid of this cast iron kettle says "Wagner Drip Drop Baster".  The kettle part says only "8".  I can't guarantee that the two pieces go together, but the lid fits perfectly.  They are both in very good condition; however, the lid does have some rust.

  Ice Tongs - $50 - Sold

Item number 9745.  At 32 inches long, these are some big ice tongs.  They are in original condition and work just fine.  They have no manufacturer's name.

  Brass Pump - $50

Item number 9116.  This pump has a body made of brass and a handle and base of cast iron.  No manufacturer's name.  This would look great next to your fish pond especially if you polished the brass.

  Jacks - $2 each

Here are four old jacks that would add to anyone's collection.  They are from left to right:

1.  Item number 0062.  Unmarked and missing its handle.  Has a screw mechanism.

4.  Item number 0059.  Unmarked.  This one is a scissor type lift.  It has no handle.

       Fuel Cans

Fuel cans like these are getting hard to find.  Their descriptions are below (from left to right):

1.  Item number 9920.  $35.  This can has diagonally fluted sides, carrying handles, and a lid.  It looks great.

2.  Item numbers 0126, 0127, 0128.  $70 each.  We have three of these cans that are identical.  They are made out of heavy metal and have screw-on lids.  They are all in very good condition.  Can be used for many things besides their original intent.

3. 

4.  Item number 9917.  $30.  Standard Measure can.  This can has a spout and a handle.  In very good condition.

  Cast Iron Buggy Steps - $25 pr.

Item number 0241.  Pair of cast iron buggy steps.  The back has "195" in a circle.  In good condition.  Just clean off the slight rust and paint!

  Butchering Meat Hook - $50

Item number 0220.  This type of meat hook was used when hanging a whole animal to butcher it.  They are useful for many other things as well, however.  Hanging a long extension cord is one fine example.  You'll find all sorts of uses for it.

  Easy Pouring Oil Cans - $20 each

Item number 0249a on the left.  These used to be seen in every gas station.  Now you'll only see them here.  This is a half gallon liquid U. S. Legal oil can.  It is in great condition and has a handle in the back.

Item number 0249b on the right.  This one has no marking on it.  It has a little surface rust that could easily be removed.

  Sheep Shearer - $40

Item number 0247.  This is a hand-operated sheep shearer called "The Stewart Clipper" made by Chicago Flexible Shaft Co. of Chicago U.S.A.  It is made of cast iron and the clippers are included.  The flexible shaft that ran from the clipper to the stand is missing.

  Shoe Last - $15

Item number 0309.  This shoe last was made by Eclipse and patented May 1, 1894.  It comes with two feet - one size D and one size B with a small chip out of the cast iron.  A really decorative item ... or would you like to make your own shoes?

  Shoe Repair Kit - $25

Item number 0403.  Here is a complete shoe repair kit.  There is the shoe last with four different size feet and three tools which were made to repair shoes.  There is even a metal box to keep everything in.  Who could ask for anything more?

    Oil Cans - $5 each       

Item number 05006 (left).  One pint oil can with a long spout.

Item number 05007 (right).  One pint oil can with cut spout.

Item number 05008 (top center).  One quart oil can.

The modern oil spout laying in the foreground will go with the first one of these sold if the buyer wants it.

    Palmer Paper Dispenser (?) - $15       

Item number 05010.  Now here's a fun item.  Why?  Because we don't know what it is.  It is marked "Palmer Multi Service Products, Waukesha, WI".  It appears to me that a roll of paper goes on the spindle at the top.  Perhaps it held the rolls of paper stores used to use to wrap items that were purchased - that was before paper bags.

    Kerosene Can - $8       

Item number 05035.  This is a 1 gallon safety can for carrying kerosene.  Could be handy during the winter.

    Saad Iron Parts $10   

Item number 05047.  Saad irons used to have replaceable parts so that one could be heating on the stove while the other one was being used.  The three items shown above are those replaceable parts.  All three are being sold as one lot.
