Welcome to our Internet based
Antiques website
www.AntiqBuyer.com. Our primary interest is in
Mechanical & Patented Antiques, Scientific Related Antiques, and Tool & Technology related
antiques. We buy & sell what is generally known as Americana, General or Country Store
Antiques, and Antique Advertising. We
call all of this "Americana with a Purpose."

Antique & Collectible business for over 40 years as full time
antique dealers / brokers.

the types of antiques and collectibles we deal in, want to buy, and can help you

different types of specific antiques we buy & deal in. On the right are links to pages of past sales for
many antiques we have sold from our
sister antique sales website
www.Patented-Antiques.com.
We own and operate
2 different antiques websites. This site, www.AntiqBuyer.com
is our informational and buying site, and

Past Sales Archives
links found on the right.

Types of Antiques Sought &
Sold
We primarily buy,
sell, and deal in patented, mechanical, and vintage technology
related
antiques and collectibles spanning the era from the mid-to early 1800's and the
beginnings of the Industrial Revolution to just after the
turn-of-the 20th Century. We specialize in antique tools and many specific sub categories. General or Country store related antiques as
well as related advertising are sought as well.
We actively
seek antique sewing machines, (Pre-1870) American
Patent Models, and vintage salesman samples
as well. Antique surveying instruments, antique woodworking tools,
office related antiques and many other types of patented and / or mechanical antiques, related
advertising, country / general store antiques, and more from this era, are of special
interest, and what we specialize in.
Our interests include
antique pressing irons & sadirons, early patented eggbeaters,
churns, and other kitchen related gadgets and antiques,
mechanical and patented apple parers, cast iron coffee mills /
grinders, and other kitchen related antiques.
We are also interested in, and
buy and sell antique office equipment, antique medical instruments,
and related antique scientific equipment, including early electric
fans and antique electric bi-polar or open frame motors, antique typewriters, mechanical pencil
sharpeners, early telephones and telegraphy devices etc. Antique toys,
vintage sporting goods are sought as well. Many other
occupational and technological antiques from the home, workshop,
store, farm,
or office are sought as well.
We also deal in and seek antique figural cast iron pieces like
antique lawn sprinklers, early corkscrews, unusual calculating
devices, slide rules, plus related ephemera, catalogs and advertising related to
all of the above mentioned categories.
Unlike what is offered at the current crop of
most antique shows and in most "antique" malls or shops these days, where the new definition of
20 years old 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, or popular and saleable, but pieces from 1990 or even the 70's
and 80's typically do not fit into our sales categories or realm of interest.

categories of antiques, vintage technology, scientific related
antiques, antique advertising and collectibles we are interested in
