The Wonder Rope Winder   This magnificent rope winder is one of the larger of the commercially made 5 strand models available.  This example is missing the wooden handle from the back side, but is in otherwise excellent condition.  These Wonder Rope Winders are tough to find, and this example is ready to go back home to the collection and be displayed, or be put back to work.                     Excellent............$295.00         SOLD!

      

The Ideal Rope Winder   This patented rope winder is NOS and has not been repainted.  By design it was meant to sit over a fence rail.  It is not a rare one, but the condition is rare and you will not find a nicer example.    Excellent........$195.00        SOLD!!

 

 

 

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.   Good+ ....$195.00    SOLD  

 

The Monarch Double Slant Wheel Hog Oiler from Iowa   This is a rare and difficult to find hogoiler.  It is damage free, meaning no welds cracks or other major damage.  For those who want a short history lesson these were developed and designed roughly from just before the turn of the last century in to the 20's or 30's when the advent of pesticides relegated most of them to the scrap iron heap out in the back forty or down the nearest gully, where most of today's rarest and best ones come from.  During their hey-day, there were 100 or more different designs available.  The basic idea was that by using the hog or pigs natural tendency to rub, scratch and root, he would do that on or against this and when the wheels turned, the oil in the reservoir would come up getting on the pig and help to control the lice and bug problem as well as keep those cute pink ones from getting sunburned.  I have seen a couple of the best collections and have handled some great ones in the past, and this is a real good one.   Excellent ..... $695.00     SOLD

 

Stoddard Cast Iron Tractor Seat This good looking cutout letter tractor or implement seat is in nice condition and does not have any casting cracks or other problems.  It is guaranteed to be old and original..     Excellent.........$125.00   SOLD

 

 

 

The Crosby Steam Engine Indicator   Hook this device onto the correct hole or port  on your antique steam engine, set it up with the right spring, fire the engine up, wind this up, and it will then draw you a picture of just how well she is running.  That was the basic idea anyway, but as I have never seen one in use I am not sure if everything is here or not.  It sure looks complete though.          Good+ ..... $195.00      SOLD

 

 

The American 9" Steam Test Gauge   The box is Oak and dovetailed, and the gauge itself looks to have seen little if any use.  The red sticker is an inspection sticker, so I assume we can assume it works.  It is solid brass or bronze and has no apologies.  The pictures should pretty much tell you the rest of the story.  You will not be disappointed in the condition.   Excellent ..... $295.00  

 

 

The NUWAY Rope Winder   This unusual rope winder or rope twister kind of reminds you of a smiley face, and that is what you see on the faces of those who are lucky enough to find one of these, at just about any price.   It is all original and damage free.  The only info is Pat. Appl'd For and the name cast into the housing on both sides.  It is a five strand and the bottom center hook revolves in the opposite direction from the rest when you crank it up.     Excellent.........$295.00           SOLD!!
