"Chinaman"
Sprinkle Plenty Sprinkler with Iron The fun of collecting figural sprinklers
is in the seemingly infinite variety of characters, personalities, and individualistic
facial expressions that are portrayed. This hard-to-find example of the
Sprinkle Plenty figure holding an iron at his side isn't just in super condition---it
even retains its original paper label! If you have been waiting for one
in this kind of condition to come along, then this one is for you.
Good . . . . . $100.00 SOLD
Glass
Bulb "Pat'd" Sprinkle Bottle This
laundry sprinkler has an unusual bulbous shape and that wonderful look of early
glass. It is marked with the letters "Pat'd" and the side, and the bottom
is flattened to prevent it from ever rolling off the edge of the ironing board.
It's complete with its original perforated aluminum screw cap. It's a
nice one and in excellent condition.
Good . . . . . $45.00 SOLD
Washboard
/ Scrub Board Similar to, but different from the one above.
Good . . . . . $55.00 SOLD
Wavy
Washboard / Scrub Board This one incorporates a wavy surface to help
with the job and lends a different look to the design. The thing to remember
about these types of washers is that they were still being sold , designed,
and even patented well into the 20th century. To be used.
In other words, some folks had the new fangled Maytags or Easy washer, or other
large and elaborate contraptions to help do the laundry, while the rest of the
country and world was still walking down to the creek and having a go at the
weekly chore with one of these.
Good . . . . . $125.00 SOLD
Antique
2 Tier Laundry / Iron Heating Stove This stove has a great
look. It breaks down into 3 pieces. It will carry close to 16 or
so irons and must have been used in a commercial or institutional setting.
The top swivel lid is a carefully redone replacement that is hardly detectable.
Stoves like this work great in a workshop setting on concrete floors where all
the heat generated can be absorbed and evenly distributed. Or they make
for a great display in a corner for some of the highlights of the antique iron
collection. Delivery is available at my fuel costs along the West Coast when I am traveling, or I may be able to deliver it elsewhere headed east in the spring or fall of next year.
Good . . . . . $295.00 SOLD
Magee
Furnace Co. Sadiron Heating Stove Here is another example of a cast iron stove from
the late 1800's that was designed specifically for heating pressing irons.
The idea with these stoves was that you could have numerous sadirons heating
on the stove at all times so you would always have several hot ones ready to
go. The 7 inclined "shelves" along the sides of the belly of the stove
are formed to securely hold 7 irons in their upright position, leaving the top
of the stove available for a wash boiler and to keep the round removable stove
plates accessible for adding more fuel to the fire. These stoves are a
great way to display a collection of irons. This example is marked Magee
Furnace Co. Boston. There is a chip in the bottom edge that you can see
in the pictures, but other than that the condition is very good. Note
the Queen of Hearts design on the legs which are charming replacements.

Figural
Handle Smoothing Board The handle of this highly decorated
smoothing board is very interesting. It could represent an animal or sea
serpent, or it looks kind of like a chariot, or weapon, or ????. The top
of the handle has both the recipient's or maker's initials "SKD" and the date
of 1740. It has some old worm holes, but it is stable and solid,
and looks great.
Good . . . . . $975.00 SOLD
Decorated
Mangle or Smoothing Board This example has some nice design
work and embellishments or engraved lines and decorative edging. It is
set up for two handed operation. There are some old worm holes, but it
is solid and not in danger of crumbling.
Good . . . . . $125.00 SOLD
Mangle
or Smoothing Board & Roller w/ Turned Handle This is
a very nicely done smoothing board with matching roller. The surface on
this one is really nice with an interesting design to the handle.
Good . . . . . $195.00 SOLD
