Dealers in Antique Tools, Technology & Scientific Related Antiques, Americana, & Antique Advertising  

We can help you buy and sell individual antiques or collections of antiques & vintage collectibles 

We are full time knowledgeable and experienced antique dealers and actively and seriously deal in a wide range of antiques and vintage collectibles.  

Our primary focus is on Mechanical and Patented Antiques, Scientific-related Antiques, Tool and mcclure.jpg (29081 bytes)Technology-related Antiques, and what is known as Americana, General or Country Store Antiques and Antique Advertising.   We like to call all of this Americana with a purpose.   

We use to drive 70-100,000 miles a year and spent 6-8 months on the road buying, selling and dealing in antiques.  Times have changed and so has the way we conduct our business.  Today we primarily deal in quality antiques utilizing the internet and our two antique-related websites. 

We own and operate this informational website www.Atiqubuyer.com and we conduct most of our Antique Sales from our sister website www.Patented-Antiques.com Please visit that page to see how we conduct our antique consignment sales program.  It is one of the largest and best known single owner ikey4.jpg (18885 bytes)nternet antique sales websites there is. For more info about this, our search engine rankings and traffic count please see the FAQ page as well as the other informational pages we have on both sites. 

Consignment Antique Sales

The way we do business has changed from simply trying to buy your antiques for the lowest possible price, and then reselling them at a profit for us, to helping you, the owner, collector, spouse, heir, or other sellers of antiques, sell antiques utilizing the internet, our antique websites, and our expertise and knowledge to the mutual benefit of both parties. 

It is a Win-Win for both parties! 

We are currently selling antiques from several estates and several different collections of antiques on our sales website www.Patented-Antiques.com for several different consignors.

Types of Antiques Sought & Sold

We primarily buy, sell, and deal in patented, mechanical, and vintage technology related shaw3.jpg (26125 bytes)antiques and collectibles spanning the era from the mid-1800's and the beginnings of the Industrial Revolution to just after the turn-of-the 20th Century.  General or country store antiques as well as related advertising are sought as well.  We call all of this Americana with a purpose. 

We are actively seeking antique sewing machines (Pre-1870), American patent models and vintage salesman samples, antique surveying instruments, antique woodworking tools, and many other types of patented and / or mechanical antiques, related advertising, country store antiques, and what is commonly referred to as Americana from this era. 

This would include antique pressing irons or sadirons, early patented eggbeaters, mechanical apple parers, 2 wheel coffee mills, cast iron coffee grinders, and other kitchen and general store related antiques. 

We sell antique and vintage tools, early office antiques, antique surveying instruments and related antique scientific equipment, as well as many other occupational and technological antiques from the home, workshop, store, farm, or office. 

The antiques we seek include early electric fans and antique electric motors, antique typewriters, early telephones and telegraph devices, antique toys, vintage sporting goods, and much more.  

We are also looking for antique figural cast iron pieces, antique lawn sprinklers, early corkscrews, unusual calculating devices and slide rules, plus related ephemera, catalogs and advertising. 

Unlike the current crop of antique shows, and what is offered in "antique shops" where it seems 20 years is now deemed to be an antique, we still hold to the definition of an antique as being something close to 100 years old or more.  Newer things might be collectible, but things from 1988 typically do not fit into our sales categories. 

  Please review the categories of antiques on the Wanted to Buy page to get a general sense of the types antiques we typically deal in.

For an overview and specific information on the different categories of antiques, vintage technology, scientific related antiques, antique advertising and collectibles we are interested in CLICK any of the headings in the left column.

The process is simple.  If you have an interesting antique for sale that you think we would be interested in and could help you sell, contact us anytime by email at LCM@AntiqBuyer.com    Please also see our  FAQ Page for more information.

 I can help you sell antiques through the Consignment Program we offer. Please contact me with something good, that I have an interest in, and I will sell it for you and net you more than you could realize in most other situations.    

Thank You!
