Americana
Boot Jacks / Mining / Kitchen
General Store / Advertising & More

General or Country Store Antiques and related Antique Advertising  are becoming antique advertisingincreasingly more difficult to find as time passes.  These days a lot of "stuff" that appears at antiques shows and on the marketplace dates from much later than the early or pre-1900 era that good Americana or General Store type antiques with historical significance have.  This is what we try to focus on and offer for sale.   Much of the stuff offered today is outright fakes, new merchandise offered up with a wink and a nod or the latest craze, stuff made up from old things and offered as something whether it is called Steampunk, assemblages, or whatever.- - - -   personally I am at a loss for words to describe most of it.. It might be art, it might be popular, but it has little to do with authentic Americana.www.Patented-Antiques.com Antique Sad & Pressing Iron Sales

We strive to offer genuine early American antiques and antique General Store artifacts---true Americana that has a real "Country" look and feel.  

The pieces listed here are just the thing to enhance your country store collection or Americana related display.  Many are great antique advertising pieces, Patent Models, salesman samples, antique kitchen related pieces, and other antiques that have an authentic look and feel that fit into many decorating and collecting schemes. 


Individual titles below that are highlighted in yellow are Select New Additions or Special Gift Ideas.   Be sure to take a look!!

Antique & Vintage Boot Jacks

We are selling a fabulous long-time collection of over 150 antique boot jacks for a consignor.  Boot Jacks represent an important part of Americana and are a great example of a utilitarian object with designs that can be elevated to near works of art or mechanical wonders, and a lot in between.  Please be sure to look at all the pages. 

NOTE:  We have recently consigned a second collection of over 200 Boot Jacks.  Some very nice, some common.  There were several Patent Model Boot Jacks which are listed below on their own page.

Food Related Kitchen Primitives / Patented Americana

The Americana and Country Kitchen antiques and collectibles found on this page cover a broad range both in vintage and uses. We use to deal extensively in Kitchen Antiques and related paraphernalia before branching paint_churn1.jpg (20291 bytes)out and dealing in many other kinds of patented and mechanical devices.

Over the years our focus has broadened as the supply of the neat early stuff has all but disappeared from the market.   In order to stay relevant we moved the time line up a bit and our interests broadened to include  things like patented ice cream scoops, odd can openers, corkscrews as well as vintage or antique electric toasters.  Heart Shaped Cookie / Biscuit Cutter

We drew the line at such things as Tupperware,  Fire King, and later plastic "Kitchen Chic" which now seem to be the rage and currently popular and active categories of Kitchen collectibles to seek and collect.

Antique Coffee Mills / Grinders & Accessories

* * * Click Heading to see Items * * *

Our primary interest is in double wheel #2 or  #3 size cast iron mills. These small double wheel coffee mills make for a very colorful and graphic display in almost any room or setting in the house.  They are wonderful pieces and a great reminder of years past.  They fit right in with the current craze concerning coffee drinking.  If you have not experienced it, there really is a difference between the taste or flavor of coffee ground between plates as in these early grinders, and coffee which is  chopped up with knife blades from the things made in China sold in every retail store across America. 

The cosmetic condition of double wheel coffee mills and the condition of the original finish are very important, and we only deal in and offer for sale those in excellent condition with original paint and decals. Original condition coffee mills are becoming very difficult to find and are the ones that seem to draw the most comments and attention when shown off.  The refinished coffee grinders that look like new cars coming off the lot are nice in their own right, but not something you will find listed here.
