Frictionless
Metal Co. Collection
The Frictionless Metal Co was based in Richmond VA and made Babbitt
bearing metal
for use in large machinery prior to widespread availability of ball
bearings.What I am offering here is a collection Frictionless Metal Co. pieces assembled over the years by a collector of levels. One of the products Frictionless Metal Co put out were small decorated advertising levels produced for them by Starrett. They are considered hard to find. They are on the left below 2 examples of the product they made, Babbitt ingots. Those levels alone generally sell for 50 -100.
Buying one level probably lead to the start of this collection which includes two Babbitt ingots, 2 of the levels, 2 blotters, numerous used letter envelopes with advertising graphics, a 1901 large poster calendar, and the very rare good luck horseshoe advertising clock seen in the last pics. The clock is not working. Check all the pics.

19th
Century Antique Carpenters Wooden Tool Box This
is a great antique carpenter's tool chest. It is very well constructed
and in great condition. It has three sliding trays. Each tray has
multiple dividers and additional sliding trays within the different
trays or drawers. You could spend years filling this box with treasures.
The box measures approx. 40" across the front. It is dovetail construction. It has rolling casters under it. The two top panels on the lid are covered in leather. A super antique tool chest that looks great in our living room, but will look even better in yours.

19th
Century Antique Carpenters Work Bench This
antique carpenter's work bench is approx. 80" long 2' deep and 33" tall.
It has working vices at both ends. The vise on the left is 18" wide. On
the right the vise wraps the corner. The base is original w dowelled and
bolted joint construction. The top lifts off and the base comes apart to
make moving it easier. Great patina and wear. Will make for a great
accent piece, or put it back to work. The only apology is the missing
rods to operate the vices, an easy fix.

W. F. & J Barnes Former
- Foot Powered Shaper This unusual
Barnes foot powered former is in great condition. There are areas
with some caked on dirt and grease, but most of the original paint and
decorations remains. Much of it visible now. It comes with several
new belts, and also a box of cutters that are the correct size. The table is original right down to a
couple of tight age cracks.Barnes first introduced their former in the 1870s and they were offered into the 1930s. The first model was run by a round belt, but this is the improved model that was powered by a flat belt with holes. There is a very informative and comprehensive discussion of these machines at the website http://www.footpoweredmachinery.com/manufacturers/barnes-wfj/machines/formershaper/ That article is well worth the read.
It has a great look. I see no casting problems or cracks. The table is original. Later tables were larger and more square. The cast iron seat is damage free. It spins freely. I can break it down and box it, but imagine shipping is going to be several hundred unless you are here on the west coast. This Barnes Former / Shaper will be a welcome addition to the advanced antique tool collection.

Chicago
Watch Tool Co. No. 5 Foot Wheel This
antique cast iron foot powered flywheel was designed to power a
watchmakers lathe as typically seen set up in a watchmakers bench.
I could not find any other exact examples like it, but did find an
illustration in a reprint catalog that gave the model #. Made to drive a single 1" - 1.5" leather belt.
The inscription cast into the frame reads
"CHICAGO WATCH TOOL CO." The most unusual thing about this flywheel is that it has
a pendulum drive.
The user simply rocks his foot back and forth and a mechanism not unlike that
of a steam engine connecting rod drives the wheel. The cast iron wheel
is 21" dia. The operation with nothing hooked up is almost
effortless. It
has a great look. Click for Pic Click for Pic Click for Pic Click for Pic

1 Sure Death Trap by Davenport Trap Co.
Unmarked that I see. The Davenport Trap Co. was formed in 1909 and began
production of this trap as their first offering. Bruce Shaw was granted
a patent for the idea in 1912. In 1912 they introduced the #2 & #3 models
that were slightly different and
this style with the 6 finger trigger was dropped. It is a hard to
find trap. Rusty, but overall nice condition. Strong spring and
seems to be fully functional. Click for Pic Click for Pic Click for Pic
