Miners Lunch Pails These miners lunch pails are both in pretty nice condition and make for a nice
display. They illustrate how miners or other workers of yesteryear dealt with lunch
period. I will bet it was not an hour, and that there were no martinis
stashed in the top. What life was like for the common guy before fast food
became the norm.

Miners
Crescent Candlestick This miners candlestick
is marked Crescent. It is a common form that is in nice condition.
Marked examples are a nice touch. In use you either stuck the long point
into a beam or crevice, or hung it by the hook. The thimble would hold the
candle.

"Buffalo
Hide" Old West Scale This scale is an original.
There are some newer and lesser made ones running around that I believe originate from Mexico, but
this one has genuine age and shows a much higher degree of workmanship than
those. It has two scales, one on each side that is regulated by
hanging the product off of either of the hooks provided.

Studebaker
Wheelbarrow The story of how John Studebaker
at the age of 19 came to Placerville, California looking for gold and instead
began a business making wheelbarrows can be found on numerous sites on the
internet and elsewhere. Finding an original Studebaker wheelbarrow is a
different matter altogether, and even finding pictures of original ones can be
difficult.
Well here is one in the flesh, and a once in a lifetime opportunity to own it. This wheelbarrow is not to be confused with later mass produced examples, this one dates from the 1850's and its construction details with through mortises and tennons attest to that. I do not have any actual documentation, but when compared to Studebaker's early work and other wheelbarrows you can see in a couple of museums online this one is a pretty good match. Overall it is in fine condition noting one of the removable side boards is not complete. It is sitting up on a shelf where additional pictures were hard to take, but if interested I will get it down and take better ones for you. This can be described in three simple words, and it deserves to be in a museum---whether that is run by the State or in your private barn does not matter. Rare ----- Rare ----- Rare Pic Pic Pic
