Office
Antiques & Related Antiques
I deal in and sell
antique & collectible office
related antiques that date from near the turn
 of the
20th century or earlier. This includes things like early
patented antique pencil sharpeners and antique typewriters, to
vintage slide rules and early office furniture. On this page
you will find a wide range of early office and general store related antiques
from this earlier era.
The
supply of good early (pre 1900) office and general store related antiques, that was once
available and reasonable, has now for all intent and purposes
disappeared and the supply has dried up. We are always
seeking new pieces to add to these pages.
If you have a
single antique or an entire collection of office and technology related
antiques for sale that you think we may be interested in, please contact
us at
LCM@patented-antiques.com
and we will get back to you ASAP.
Please see the
FAQ page as well for more general info on this subject. Thanks!!

Antique Electric and Fuel Fans
Antique electric fans that were once produced and offered
for sale offer a glimpse into the quality and pride
that went into the manufacture of products in
 this country during an
earlier period in America's history.
I still use a an early GE
Pancake fan and a Westinghouse "Tank" fan, as well as an early
electric Emerson
fan around the house, and the way they work and look is a tribute
to an earlier time. A sense of pride was built into American made products
and these 75-100 year old fans are a great example of the way things use
to be. It is no wonder these early testaments to
quality and design stir collecting interest, or that they elicit positive comments from all who see them.
Their operation, their look, have an air of quality about them.
Early fans came in all sizes and shapes and some examples of ones I have
sold in recent years can be found on this
fan
sales archive page. In addition to
electrically
powered AC and or DC powered fans, some early fans were also powered by other
sources such as hot air, water, as well as early battery powered
electric models.
I deal in and sell all of these early versions of vintage fans.

Antique Typewriters
**** CLICK EACH HEADING TO SEE THE ITEMS BELOW
****
Typewriters are a another popular collectible in the
Office Antique category, and again the more interesting and earlier models
are becoming ever more difficult to find.
Click here to see a small sample of machines I have previously
sold in the past and to get an idea of the types I am looking for. Now is the time to buy antique typewriters as
their perceived values have done much the same as the NASDAQ in the recent
past, with wild swings up and deep declines
down after a few hungry, and money is no object, style buyers entered the
market and were filled up.
But as with the
stock market I think we have seen the bottom, and when the business
collectors of antique office memorabilia get their priorities and portfolios back on track, this sort
of antique office collectible is again going to sell at a
whole new level of price, to a whole new crop of interested buyers and
the cycle will
begin again. All the different styles and examples
are a great example of a technology that went through some wild changes
and stages of development to the keyboards hooked to a computer we have today. Personally I can
not imagine using a typewriter and not having spell check.

Patented and Mechanical Antique Pencil Sharpeners /
Pointers
Antique mechanical Pencil
Sharpeners or pointers that I am interested in
and buy and
 sell saw their heyday of innovative design and production during the period
from about 1870 to 1910 or a bit later. There are a myriad of patented designs and variations on designs available and they can make for an
interesting and challenging category to collect. Their
availability has ebbed and flowed with the coming of the internet and so
has their popularity. Our current inventory has been pretty much depleted, but we are still buying more unusual and interesting examples
when we find them. There are many many different versions available
and you can see a pretty good selection of what I have sold in the past by
visiting this
pencil
sharpener sales archive page. In general we are seeking to
buy any of those seen on the preceding page, but are even more interested
in odd-ball mechanical and patented ones that are not shown.
ALL SOLD!!
