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        Sold

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.

  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.

  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.

  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                Sold

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.

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.

    Beehive String Holders - $60 each    Sold

Item numbers 09002 (left - Sold) and 09003 (right - Sold).  String holders were used in stores and homes in the days when packages were wrapped with paper and tied with string.  Aren't rubber bands and plastic bags wonderful?
