Geneva Hand Rocker Fluter    Hailing from Geneva, Illinois this is the classic rocker fluter, and oftentimes the one that gets the collection going!  Although advanced collectors consider these to be pretty common there are actually several variations in these irons in the pattern of the dots and in the way the name is written.  This example is clean and bright---the fluted portions are a cast alloy material and upon close inspection there is some evidence of deterioration going on in the form of a tight crack in the rocker, but overall it displays well.            Click for Pic          Click for Pic

Star Fluting Machine    This fluting iron was manufactured by the American Machine Co. of Philadelphia and has four patent dates spanning from 1875 to 1880.  It's the version with the 6" brass rollers.  The condition of this antique is incredible with nearly all of its original black japanning, and gold and red pinstriping decorating the base.  A really nice example, and you'll never need to upgrade on this one!

Crown Jewel Machine Fluter    This antique machine fluting iron has a fancy scalloped shaped base and a great Victorian look to it.  This is one of the harder-to-find fluting or crimping machines, and it is rarely found in this nice condition.  There is lots of black japanning remaining, and great original gold stenciling and scrollwork decoration as well.  This example is out of a long-time collection.     LCM-MF-2
