Eureka
1871 Patent Fluting Iron This is a pretty rare and
unusual machine fluter that does not turn up very often. Note the intricate and
complex spring and roller adjustment at the top. It is a unique
design amongst machine fluters. The octagon 8-sided cast iron base is an unusual
design as well. Overall the fluter is in very nice condition, with lots of
original black japanning finish still remaining. There is also a painted
decoration in the middle of the base as can be seen.

The
Dudley Fluter
This is a great looking machine fluting
iron referred to as "The Dudley". It was patented Nov. 14, 1876, and
that date is case into the arm. There are actually two variations of
this fluter, this one being the harder-to-find version that included an
extra support for the gracefully curved arm. This example is in really
fine condition and still retains red pinstriping around the black painted
base. It is very graphic with the great form of the double looped, of
figure 8, shaped wingnut topped by an acorn finial.

Champion Fluting Machine
This fluting iron is one that is not found very
often. Take a look at the picture of the underside to see this
fellow's patented idea and how different it is from the norm. It is
similar to a machine fluter known as the "Champion" but the contoured edge
base is distinctively different. It has some paint loss, but would
greatly improve with a little bit of a cleaning.

Companion
Clamp-0n Fluter
This is a crank style fluter with an integral clamp, one
of only a handful of this style ever manufactured. It is in really
nice condition, still retaining most of its original black paint and gold
decoration, including the name "Companion" in decorative script. A
great piece, and really hard to find!

3 Different Miniature Eagle Machine Fluters
This is the smallest size machine fluter typically found or produced. There are smaller salesman samples known, but this size was offered as a regular stock item in catalogs. The bases measure approx 4" x 6" and the rollers are 3" long. Each of these is slightly different from the next. The differences include different embossed writing or info, and different casting shapes in the feet and bases. Two have Eagle embossed / cast into the top, and of those one is marked American Machine, and the other North Brothers. The other two have no ID or patent info on them. One is in such nice condition it is hard to imagine that anything like a stencil has worn off. One has seen use and wear as there is remnants of a paper label on the bottom. Anyway here they are------
