"Chinaman"
Sprinkle Plenty Sprinkler with Iron The fun of collecting figural sprinklers is in the seemingly
infinite variety of characters, personalities, and individualistic facial
expressions that are portrayed. This hard-to-find example of the Sprinkle
Plenty figure holding an iron at his side isn't just in super condition---it
even retains its original paper label! If you have been waiting for one in
this kind of condition to come along, then this one is for you.

Glass
Bulb "Pat'd" Sprinkle Bottle This
laundry sprinkler has an unusual bulbous shape and that wonderful look of early
glass. It is marked with the letters "Pat'd" and the side, and
the bottom is flattened to prevent it from ever rolling off the edge of the
ironing board. It's complete with its original perforated aluminum screw
cap. It's a nice one and in excellent condition.
Excellent .... $45.00 SOLD
Washboard
/ Scrub Board Similar to, but different from the one above.

Very Good .... $55.00 SOLD!
Wavy
Washboard / Scrub Board This one incorporates a wavy surface to
help with the job and lends a different look to the design. The thing
to remember about these types of washers is that they were still being sold ,
designed, and even patented well into the 20th century. To be
used. In other words, some folks had the new fangled Maytags or Easy
washer, or other large and elaborate contraptions to help do the laundry,
while the rest of the country and world was still walking down to the creek
and having a go at the weekly chore with one of these.

Antique
2 Tier Laundry / Iron Heating Stove This stove has a great
look. It breaks down into 3 pieces. It will carry close to 16 or so
irons and must have been used in a commercial or institutional setting.
The top swivel lid is a carefully redone replacement that is hardly detectable.
Stoves like this work great in a workshop setting on concrete floors where all the
heat generated can be absorbed and evenly distributed. Or they make for a great
display in a corner for some of the highlights of the antique iron collection.
Delivery is available at my fuel costs along the West Coast when I am traveling, or I may be able to deliver it elsewhere headed east in the spring or fall of next year. ML-LS-1

Magee
Furnace Co. Sadiron Heating Stove Here
is another example of a cast iron stove from the late 1800's that was designed
specifically for heating pressing irons. The idea with these stoves was
that you could have numerous sadirons heating on the stove at all times so you
would always have several hot ones ready to go. The 7 inclined
"shelves" along the sides of the belly of the stove are formed to
securely hold 7 irons in their upright position, leaving the top of the stove
available for a wash boiler and to keep the round removable stove plates
accessible for adding more fuel to the fire. These stoves are a great way
to display a collection of irons. This example is marked Magee Furnace
Co. Boston. There is a chip in the bottom edge that you can see in the
pictures, but other than that the condition is very good. Note the Queen
of Hearts design on the legs which are charming
replacements.

Figural
Handle Smoothing Board The handle of this highly
decorated smoothing board is very interesting. It could
represent an animal or sea serpent, or it looks kind of like a chariot, or
weapon, or ????. The top of the handle has both the recipient's or maker's
initials "SKD" and the date
of 1740. It has some old worm holes, but it is stable and
solid, and looks great.
