Century Antique Carpenters Work Bench This antique carpenter's work bench is approx. 80" long
2' deep and 33" tall. It has working vices at both ends. The vise on the left is 18" wide. On the right the vise wraps the corner.
The base is original w dowelled and bolted joint construction. The top lifts off and the base comes apart to make moving it easier.

vices, an easy fix.

Streeter Sterling Model #95 Slicer / Slicing Machine
This Sterling Model #95 Slicer /
Slicing Machine is an unusual piece of antique restaurant / food prep equipment. The Sterling 95 Slicer rivals
the extremely popular Berkel line of meat slicers in form and function. The Streeter
Sterling Model 95 slicer dates from shortly after the turn of the century
and is more unusual than the typical Berkel Slicer. In a Berkel Slicer the blade revolves, and the table moves back and forth. With a Sterling Slicing machine, the blade not only revolves, it also moves back and forth with an arched sawing motion. It is a sight to see. Everything involved w/ the blade is present and operates smoothly, with the blade rotating and moving back and forth as you turn the crank handle. Here is a video of it in action https://www.patented-antiques.com/images/AA-NEXT/S95-opd/DSCN1990.MP4 The 10" blade is damage free and pretty clean and sharp.
The original paint is approx. 80 - 90 %. There has been some nickel loss to the flywheel and other parts. There is some pitting on the meat tray / table. The sliding table, with various hold downs is unconnected and not hooked up. I do not know if it operates correctly as it seems to be misaligned. It is designed to move toward the blade in finely controlled increments and that adjustment is present and functioning.
There is little info or other examples to be found using Google. A different one can be seen in the past sales archives of my website AntiqBuyer.com. Reference to another can be found on Facebook.
You can also find ads online for the model 95 Sterling slicer offered by the N. R. Streeter Company of Buffalo NY, and an earlier version offered by a firm named Anstice, that Streeter bought out. Streeter is a well known name for some rare and unusual pressing irons and traps, as well as many other cast iron kitchen related tools.
A rare & desirable piece. This Sterling 95 slicing machine would be a perfect candidate for restoration and then used in a upscale deli / sandwich shop.

Mitten Warmer, Stove Shelf or other, these pieces of antique cast iron are a wonderful design, functional and
true piece of Americana.Over the years we have has numerous different variations on the theme of these. Probably over a dozen different designs. This one uses a wedge locking systen to attach to a 6" stovepipe. It is approx. 18" square. It has Pat Apl'd For cast into the top. There is a crack that runs through several of the squares. It is till solid and there is no movement when you stress the corners. It is still suitable for use with light duty or loads. I would not think about putting post of soup or stew on it to keep warm. Use it or display it, a great piece.

So - Ezy Mouse Trap by Wolverton Mfg. Co. of Holton Kansas
The label is a bit faded, but readable. Good thing as that is the only
marking on this rare and unusual mouse trap. It is on trap peoples
want list, but not in any collections I know of. It was made by the
Wolverton Mfg. Co. out of Holton Kansas. To operate you squeeze the
arms at the rear, raise the bait tray arm, and it is set. Not the most

"Sub Grade Rod" #218" by L. A. Batham Oakland Cal. I have never seen or heard of this "Sub Grade Rod" before, and neither has Google. This unusual measurement device is like NOS in its canvas and leather case. It is made of Maple and has nearly 100% of its original finish.
Google does recognize the makers name, and he was the California city of Oakland's official draftsman back in the 1920s. Mr Bantham also lived in Chico and applied for the chief engineer job there about the same time frame. That is all the info I could find on him, and nothing about his rule tool. No mention of a patent or reference to this type of device would come up.
I am guessing that Mr. L. A. Batham's job included being sent out to a lot of job sites to measure footings depths and the depth of other holes on the construction site and he got tired of bending down to read the tape to see if the holes were the proper depth. Looking at the sliding rule, below the name stamp is a window with a ruler that one would read the depth of the footing or trench - below grade while holding it in the trench and reading the scale while standing erect. The total travel range of the two sliding sticks is less than 2 feet. That is about what code here calls for with footings and stem walls here. That is my best guess anyway..

Dowsing
Rod w/ Power Tube for Treasure Hunting
Every serious gold seeker or treasure hunter needed one of these back in the
day. It is not just a dowsing rod for water as is normally thought of, this version is a
near magical POWER model if you believe the hype.It is similar in concept to a Gold or Treasure seekers Spanish dip Compass that also have a power tube filled with magic nuggets to help in the search for treasures. There is one of those Spanish dip Compasses pictured and described in my past sales archives on www.AntiqBuyer.com. The address for that page is https://www.antiqbuyer.com/all_archives/misc-archives/miningarchive.htm
This version looks more like a water dowser in design with its twin handles. The power tube is filled with a special gold looking material that enhances its abilities. The original handles are included but have suffered over the years and are now very fragile and have a tape repair. A past owner / user made a replacement pair of handles that look good and work just as well.
I heard one could take a course in using this sort of thing at Trump University but they are now closed, or at PT Barnum's continuing education site if you can find it. Just send me the money and I will enroll you. On a more serious note though there are current day versions of these dowsing rods offered today for the incredible price of over 2K and there is an upgraded 3K model that has the added feature of a small wire antenna to further enhance the power tubes ability. Oh Lordy!! Here is the address to view that https://www.simmonsscientificproducts.com/pmr_ii.html Other versions are offered on eBay for somewhat less for the bargain treasure hunters out there. P. T. Barnum and Don the Con would be proud.

Triumph Round Wooden Sewing Machine The
Triumph is a scarce miniature sewing machines that features one of the most unusual and graphic designs
that was ever thought up for a toy sewing machine! The
round body is all wood, painted black and has applied decals for the Triumph
name and vine & berry decorations. There is a metal backing plate to
add strength and allow for the metal parts to operate. The wooden body was designed
with a small section of frame that could be removed while sewing to allow fabric to pass
through, then replaced when not in use to keep it stable. It is believed to have been manufactured by
the Foley & Williams Co. and is simply marked "Patent" on the
nickeled sew plate. This example is 100% complete with all of it's original parts, including the removable section and its retaining pin. It has a walking presser foot mechanism. The tensioner and spool pin are both present as well. It has some wear to the name and other decals as seen, but is in overall very nice condition. A "top-shelf" small TSM sewing machine for the collection.

Walter
Hagen Concave Face Sand Wedge Wood Shaft Golf Club The
design golf club was patented and the number is 1695598. There was a great
write-up for the design in a Sothby's catalog where the one offered sold for
2K. It was unused. This one is not.Here is that catalog entry. "It was designed to help golfers escape from bunkers and other troubles. Although most think that Gene Sarazen created the wedge, Ed MacClain, who spent a lot of time in the bunkers at Houston Country Club, created this concave design. The new club helped Horton Smith, also known as "the Joplin Ghost" to shoot 278 to win the Savannah Open by one stroke over Bobby Jones in February 1930. Smith gave his friend one of the new sticks which Jones found handy later that summer when he was stuck in the greenside bunker on the par-5 16th hole at Hoylake. Swinging MacClain's wedge, Jones blasted the ball out to within four inches of the cup for the birdie that scored the 1930 British Open and the Grand Slam. The Walter Hagen Golf Company began to manufacture and sell the new "sand wedge." On January 9, 1931, the USGA struck down the club, as "repeated tests proved conclusively that from grass a ball could strike the club face at two different points in the same stroke."
A nice wood shaft golf club for the collection, display or use.
