We are delighted to be able
to offer for sale a great number of antique, vintage, and collectible
trivets
originating from several great collections that we are helping
different consigners sell.
Nothing compares to the feel or look
of early and well done cast iron, and perhaps no one single item better
symbolizes traditional Early American cast iron antiques than the trivet.
With an almost intoxicating array
of designs and styles to be had
this category of collecting
can be a collector's and decorator's
paradise. Whether you collect trivets in and of themselves, or
to accompany your antique pressing iron collection, you'll find a variety
of interesting antique trivets listed below, ranging from very
early hand-forged blacksmith-made examples to intricately designed cast iron trivets produced in foundries for the leading iron makers, to fine
twisted wire and brass examples.
Most of the trivets listed below
are in very nice condition and are ready for display. Some just
need a dusting. A few need a light cleaning and waxing.
I usually do this on a soft wire wheel or by hand with steel wool, and
then either wax or lightly oil them to retard any oxidation processes.
Heavier rust removal it is a longer process, first by scraping, then
either electrolysis, or a coarser wire wheel and a final coat of wax
or oil, but none of the above examples require this and most are ready
for display.

We are offering many antique and collectible
irons and laundry related antiques
originating from three great iron
collections---one that focused on small and child-size irons, another
that includes a wide array of unusual antique pressing irons and antique
laundry / washing collectibles, and antique irons from another collection
that got so large it had to be pared down and refocused.
We are delighted to be able to offer
you select irons and related laundry antiques from these collections.
There are pieces included that have been off the market
for 25-40 years, and are the sort of things you just do not have the
opportunity to find or buy anymore. We are happy to be able to participate
in disbursing them for our consigners
and find them new homes in collections where they can ag
ain be admired
and appreciated.
The antiques found on this page will
mostly relate to the tasks related to laundry and washing that was usually
performed on Monday. There will be full size washers, plungers,
agitators, pounders, dryers, racks and a host of related cleaning devices
designed to help take the drudgery out of the Monday / Laundry day chores
women of yesteryear use to endure.
There will also be a large
amount of related NOS soap boxes starch boxes and related type advertising
which will be found on the General Store page.
