This little glass measuring beaker is a neat find for any vintage photography equipment collector. It is in extremely nice condition with absolutely NO cracks, chips, flakes or repairs. The glass itself is crystal clear with no sign of surface scum, discoloration or damage. It would appear that this is from one of the developing laboratories at the Eastman Kodak Company, during the early days of photograph printing at their Rochester, New York headquarters; or perhaps these beakers were sold to ...

Collectibles:Railroadiana:Dining Car Items:China:Mk&T:Katy
This dinner plate is from the MK&T Railroad (a/k/a "Katy" Line), identified in "Dining on Rails" (Luckin) as MKT-1b. It is one of several different versions of their "Alamo" pattern china, honoring the San Antonio, Texas mission that played such a well known and pivotal role in Texas Revolution when all but two of its American defenders were killed on March 6, 1836 by the overwhelming forces of then-Mexican President Santa Ana.

$650 USDIncredible 1820s Cobalt Baltimore & Ohio RR Historical Plate - Earliest American Railroad China!
Collectibles:Railroadiana:Dining Car Items:China:Baltimore & Ohio
At over 180 years old, this gorgeous deep cobalt-on-white dinner plate is one of the very earliest pieces of American railroad china ever made – it dates from the late 1820s, when the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad was in its infancy. It is very heavy ware, more like pottery than restaurantware or porcelain china, and is easily mistaken at first glance for "flow blue." Our plate is 9 inches across with a deep well. It was manufactured about 1828 by Enoch Wood of Burslem, England as part of a series ...

$29 USD Offers ConsideredUnusual T-Shape Wood Handle Cast Steel Food Chopper
Collectibles:Kitchenware:Choppers
This very old food chopper is all original -- and so different from most, with a two-point handle attachment. It has seen quite a bit of service but it is still in excellent shape with NO bends, twists or edge chips in the blade and a good sturdy handle. All attachments are as sound as when they were made. The handle is wood, beautifully mellowed in a deep patina from long use over the years, which could be considered treen. The attachment screw at the top is original. With its rounded shape, ...

Below, in the center of the hasp is a stamped number 82 which is difficult to read because of a bump to the hasp. This older lock takes a key with a straight cut. Unfortunately, we do not have a key for it. We are not sure whether this ...

$155 USD SaleSALE Great Northern RR "Glory of the West" oval china platter
Collectibles:Railroadiana:Dining Car Items:China:Great Northern
This attractive oval platter is from the Great Northern Railroad, in their “Glory of the West” pattern. This is a 7 inch x 9 inch, rolled rim platter. The design is a mountain lake flanked by green pine trees and rimmed by foothills with a massive gray peak in the background. If I am correctly interpreting the pattern legend printed in "Dining on Rails" by Luckin, it depicts Two Medicine Lake (please see "Background" below). CONDITION: This platter is in very fine condition with only very light ...
$89 USD SaleSALE Great Northern Railroad "Mountains & Flowers" platter
Collectibles:Railroadiana:Dining Car Items:China:Great Northern
Here is a great little dining car china platter from the Great Northern Railway. It is in extremely nice condition with only a very few light surface marks (must tilt it in bright light to see any). This platter, which is approximately 5 inches x 7 inches, is very pretty with a pink bouquet in the foreground of a stunning mountain scene. While it carries the correct GREAT NORTHERN RY. backmark above the trademark Econo-Rim stamp of the Syracuse China Company, the date code unfortunately is too ...
$220 USDIncredible Matched Pair Dashboard Flower Vases - Extremely Early Auto or Horsedrawn Vehicle
Collectibles:Transportation:Dashboard Vases
We are proud to offer this incredible pair of very early glass vases with tin brackets, designed to hold bouquets of flowers on the dashboard or upright panels of an early automobile -- or perhaps even more likely, a horse drawn vehicle, such as a coach or even a hearse. We are leaning toward the theory that they are from a horsedrawn vehicle -- possibly a hearse -- since it seems clear they were intended to be mounted and viewed from the outside. Their plain, tall brackets would shield the ...

Collectibles:Railroadiana:Uniform:Hat Badge:Conductor

$89 USDPre-1900 Fitchburg RR Heart Shaped Brass Switch Lock - USA POSTAGE INCLUDED!
Collectibles:Railroadiana:Hardware:Brass:Lock:Switch Lock
This heart shaped brass switch lock from the Fitchburg Railroad was made by Bohannan and carries a patent date of June 25, 1878. On the shackle it is stamped FITCHBURG.R.R. which is somewhat unusual because this line often used initials (FRR). On the reverse is stamped W.BOHANNAN, BROOKLYN / PAT'D JUNE 25, '78 . Below that is stamped a number 87 (we are not sure what that means unless possibly that this individual lock was made in 1887). To the right there is a separate stamp of a letter S ...

This tiny cup and saucer are in lovely condition with only the lightest of surface marks and ...

Collectibles:Toys:Steiff:Germany:Birds:Owls
This cute little "Wittie" owl is a mohair Steiff. We acquired him from a lady who apparently was his original owner and he is in overall wonderful condition, approximately 50 years old. Wittie clearly is modeled after a Great Horned Owl, with a dark brown "cap" and feather "ears" on top of his head. What a wonderful little bird, with an intense, piercing yet curious expression so much like real owls! On Steiff toy information website pages, we identified our Wittie as their EAN # 4310, ...
$69 USD Offers ConsideredOrnate Footed Victorian/Early 20th c. Lady's Dresser Box
Collectibles:Vanity Items:Dresser Box
This intriguing dresser box belonged to my Great Aunt, who was born in 1870. I'm do not know when or where she got it. When I was a child I was always intrigued by the very intricate figural "carvings" all over it, which with its squat shape made me think of a treasure chest, and I can still in my mind's eye see it on her bureau. I rediscovered it among my mother's things when we were clearing out their home. This box is a round chest with a wide piano-hinged lid that stands up on 4 short legs. ...

$9 USD Offers Considered3 Big 1950s Aluminum Cookie Cutters: Horse, Chicken & Rabbit
Collectibles:Kitchenware:Baking Accessories:Cookie Cutters
These neat cookie cutters are some of the large size ones my mother bought when my sister and I were children. They date from the 1950s and are aluminum, with raised handles stamped out of the metal figure itself. They are all in terrific condition with NO splits, bends, or dents. There are a few hardly noticeable, very light surface marks from use, expected due to their age. Please forgive our less than perfect pictures, as the bright metal was extremely difficult to photograph. The group ...
$37 USD SaleSALE Authentic 1947 Coca-Cola Paper Store Advertising Paper Banner -- Unused "NEW OLD STOCK"
Collectibles:Advertising:Soft Drinks:Coca-cola:Signs, Banners:Paper
This Coca-Cola store paper banner sign is 11 inches tall x 30 inches long. This is “NEW OLD STOCK,” unused and apparently stored away all this time. We found this one and several more identical to it in a pile in upstate New York. This poster apparently was made as an advertising display for a store, to remind shoppers to buy Coke to take home in 6-packs. There was room above the words “. . . And Don’t Forget” for the store owner to add other information as desired, and write in the price in the ...

Collectibles:Railroadiana:Dining Car Items:China:New York Central:Nycrr:Mercury

It is approximately 2-1/2 inches tall. Condition is near mint. There are NO chips, cracks, flakes, spider cracks or repairs. There "might" be just the tiniest few drops of extra glaze puddled in the inside bottom but this is the way it was made, and does NOT show for display. A very hard to find ...

Collectibles:Lamps, Lighting:Parts:Aladdin:Mantle
This mantle for an Aladdin RR Caboose Lamp is UNUSED "new old stock," as found in its original box. The mantle is in perfect, untouched, never used condition and would add significantly to a lamp on display. We CAREFULLY removed it for photos and put it right back in the box so as not to damage it. The box is in overall good condition, with some light staining and edge bumps on the end panels. It has done a very good job protecting the mantle inside. Please look at our photos, which should give ...
