"The
Planet" Leather Dust Beater That is what the
info on the handle calls it. The idea was granted a patent on April 30
1895. That would be for the dust beater idea, not something like a new
novel sex toy. It was offered by the Planet Mfg. Co out of Springfield
MA. The write-up from an 1897 trade review magazine I found gushes
about, but leaves the actual end uses as an open
question. The condition is great and it will be an interesting
conversation piece, starter, or toy.Click for Pic Click for Pic Click for Pic Click for Pic Click for Pic

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
powerful trap ever made, but one of the hardest to find. Very nice.Click for Pic Click for Pic Click for Pic Click for Pic Click for Pic Click for Pic Click for Pic

Pratt Patent
"Ladies Companion" Patent 1857 Sewing Machine Samuel
F. Pratt of Massachusetts was granted 2 different patents in 1857 - 1858 for
machines of this type. The serial # on this exceptional condition
example is 110. The sew plate is
stamped with just the earlier Feb 3 1857 date. Both patents are easily found on
Google.
In her Smithsonian-sponsored book on sewing machines Grace Cooper has a
section on the historical significance of this machine and its inventor
Samuel F. Pratt of Massachusetts. It has been suggested that this machine was only marketed for a couple of years, and there are just a handful known, including one in the Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan. Most sewing machine collectors have never seen one much less had an opportunity to purchase one.
This rare antique sewing machine is in exceptional all-original condition with no breaks, cracks or condition issues. It stands approx. 28" tall, and the table is 12" square. The original green finish is well over 90% and the gold highlights are super. It still has its original leather drive belt, and the operation is flawless.
An opportunity to own one of the rarest of all American Patented Sewing Machines, a piece of American history and true Americana that may well never be available again. Rare and Nice!!

"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 NOS in its case. Google does recognize the maker, and he was the
California city of Oakland's
official draftsman back in the 1920s. He also lived in Chico and
applied for the chief engineer job there about the same time. That is
all the info I could find. No mention of a patent or reference to this
type of device would come up. I am guessing that Mr. L. A. Batham was sent out to a lot of job sites to measure footings and got tired of bending down to read the tape to see if they were the proper depth. 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. That is my 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.

Twisted
Wire Cane, Tool or Other Handle
I am always impressed when I come across pieces of
antique twisted wire like this. The amount of work and the process
involved seems hard to comprehend. The closest similar twisted wire
cane design I could find sold for over 700 at auction and was called a
barbed wire twist cane. The wire for that was bigger than typical
barbed wire but smaller than that used here. Install as a
handle on your choice and have a near unique thing.

Lamp
Filler This Victorian era Art
Nouveau or Craftsman like Arts & Crafts era design lamp filler is very unusual in design and material from those
normally seen. Most that one sees are nickel or silver plated. A few
are natural brass. Very few are mixed metal or copper and brass as this one is. Most are rounded and
can be either tall or squat. Very few are squarish with contrasting
materials and angular design as this one is. The mark on the base is for the
S. Sternau & Co. a famous maker of metal goods from this era. A great piece.Click for Pic Click for Pic Click for Pic Click for Pic

1920's Henley
Roll About Scooter / Childs Wagon The
original condition of this hard to find toy is incredible. Fully 90% or
more of the paint and finish remains. It is hard to imagine the kid this was
given to did not immediately take it out and trash it.
It comes with
a few pages of reprinted literature explaining how to set it up, different ways
to use it, ie. as a wagon, and different grades or models that they offered.
You could get it with or without the ball bearing wheels this one has, and also with rubber
tires, or steel rims as this one has. It has some sort of articulated
steering
joints that allow the entire platform to lean into turns. Quite advanced.
There is also a cut out ad from an
antique publication touting a much lesser condition example being offered at the
Indy Ad show for 4K or so. Opportunity knocking here. An incredible
piece. Different & Nice!
