For local history buffs, here is a stoneware ginger beer bottle, from the days of the old Port Perry Ginger Beer Factory. Old timers may remember it fondly. These bottles still turn up around the community but are getting rare now, because the locals are hanging on to them as prized collectables.
For collectors of rural heritage pieces, here is a saddler's brass plaque which reads D. McGill Saddler. It is in original "as found" condition. The sign measures 14" x 8" and is solid brass; it would polish to a high shine if desired. Much of the insert enamel in the lettering has come off.
This item was acquired locally in the Port Perry, Ontario area.
Another rare item for local history buffs is this postcard showing the Queen Street heritage business district as it was between 1900 and 1909 (post stamp 190- illegible, and King Edward VII on stamp).
This item would thrill the collector who specializes in old elevator memorabilia, or who loves architectural pieces for their quality and decorative appeal.
The first two photos (from the left) are taken from the front, the third and fourth from the back of the piece.
It is an antique elevator hall lantern with a part number believed to be from the Otis Company at the turn of the 20th century. The lantern is an upper terminal floor lantern, with down directionals only in the form of three red glass arrows. It is made of bronze with gilded finish. The piece is in unrestored condition with some paint drips, no back plate or electrical components. There is a small crack on one of the red glass inserts. The crack cannot be seen from the front and the glass itself is held in tightly.
The lantern measures approximately 23 cm x 11 cm.
This large angel is designed to hang on a wall. It has a pewter hanging loop on the back. It measures a generous 30 cm (about 12") in height.
The angel is pewter which requires little to no maintenance to keep its shining appearance. The angel was made by Seagull Canada and dates from 1994 when the company was making some of its best, most carefully cast and detailed work, in our opinion.
This set of retro orange and white plastic eggcups would be great fun for kids, or for the cottage or trailer. Affordable and adorable!
This striking orange plastic ice bucket with teak handles will be the star of your mid-century modern bar. It is made in Denmark and is in excellent condition.
We offer amber and green vintage bakelite pencil sharpeners. They date from the 1940's and are in scarce supply now. They work and are very cool for the home office.
A heavy elegant Arts and Crafts era firescreen is offered. It is probably English dating from about 1895. The curved oak borders to the screen are a fine tribute to the joiner's art. The screen has an embroidered galleon design. This screen will look good in any season.
Imagine this little guy holding up some candy or fruit at the Christmas or Thanksgiving table. Fantastic!
The little winged cherub is holding a pressed glass bowl. The piece measures about 45 cm high and the bowl is about 19 cm across at the upper edge. There is a patination applied to the gold areas. The base is marked DAVART NY.
We offer here a CP Rail first aid box. The original contents are listed on the underside of the lid. Our box seems to be reasonably complete, but serious buyers may ask us to provide an itemized list of the current contents of our box.
For the person who has everything, how about this for a gift. It is a vintage tape measure for estimating the weight of a cow, given as an advertizing premium for customers of the Maritime Milling Company Bull Brand Dairy Rations of Buffalo NY.
The tape measure is made of a yellow fabric, blanket stitched along one side. It goes to 108 inches on one side and equivalent weights in pounds on the other side.
Information printed on the tape includes the following:
Pocket tape for estimating live weight of cow. To estimate weight, place tape around the cow's body directly back of front legs or heart girth. The tape reading will give the estimated weight in pounds. Handle tape with care. Do not stretch it, nor let it get wet. This scale was compiled by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. For top milk production, feed dependable BULL BRAND DAIRY RATIONS. The MARITIME MILLING COMPANY, INC. BUFFALO 2, New York.
Here are two vintage display signs that were used in stores at Christmas time. They are made of cardboard.
The one on the left shows a wreath made of 7 UP bottles. It is now SOLD.
The other sign shown in the right hand photo advertises Canada Dry soft drink. It measures about 17" across.
These odd and endearing little pepper and salt sets from the 1950's reflect the emphasis on the home and new appliances in that post-war era. Mrs. Cleaver loved her gadgets!
The little TV has pepper and salt containers which are accessed by turning up the volume control. This item is SOLD.
The toaster works in a similar way by using the control lever to raise the "toasts" which are actually the pepper and salt containers.
Our favorite is the mixer which has a removable bowl and salt and pepper containers which you take off the beater shafts. This item is SOLD.
The piece measures approximately 42" x 21". The edges are a little rough as you would expect from a store piece which was used but not abused.
A great gift for your radio guy.
