1936 Treasury Dept. Opium / Coca Leaves Order Form - $17.00 includes S&H
This is a pharmacy / drug store duplicate for tax purposes in the sale of opium and or coca derivatives. This one was issued Dec. 2, 1936 from the Tilton Corner Pharmacy of Haverhill, Massachusetts.
This is an original "duplicate" that the pharmacy kept with the relevant information carbon copied. The top copy would have been filed with the US Treasury Dept.
Nicely bordered with what I presume to be an opium flower rendering on the top left corner. Printed in a red ink
In part it reads: " Treasury Department / United States Internal Revenue Order Form for Opium or Coca Leaves, or Compounds, manufactures, salts, derivatives or preparations thereof under Section 2 of the Act of Congress, Approved December 17, 1914. Series of 1936.
9" X 10 3/4"
I believe the Large picture shows the condition. On the left there are small rust staple marks from where it had once been in it's original book. Several creases. The carbon copy writing is sometimes hard to read.

Greenwald Coin Mech 2 coin horizontal - dimes Patd 1936 $41.00 includes S&H
Click image to left for more views.
Patent dates ranging from 1/2/34 to 9/8/36 ...other patents pending (of course
it could have been manufactured more recently than 1936.
It takes dimes. The photo that shows "H. Greenwald Co. Bklyn NY. Patent
Pend" is unfortunately not a clear picture ... The patent dates are above
it. The mech is also marked "<ABT>MFG CO" & "B-60"
To the best of my limited knowledge, every part moves.
it does need cleaning up. We bought several in this lot and sold the one photographed, but I'm offering one that is identical except for the 6 1/2" shaft that attaches at the back top. This one we're now offering has a round shaft. (The one in the photo was hexagonal)

Highly figured oak looks great with the brass details. The bells are iron.
The brass which was once plated is marked "Samson" above
the mouthpiece. There are traces of old paint on the plastic mouthpiece. This
piece (bakelite? guttapercha?) has a chip on the screw thread but still screws
on firmly. Has grommets for screwing directly to a wall.
Dimensions: 5 1/2" x 7 3/4"
Antique Car Horn North East Electric Model XL Type 6102 - $84.95 includes S&H
Click image to left for more views.
I do not know if this works. I've seen it described online as a "vibrator
horn". We cleaned it up some but it still could be cleaned up more. Some
of what appears to be rust is dirt and grease. But there are a few spots where
the paint is gone. We've owned this horn for over 30 years
The horn is 9" long. The overall length is 11 1/2" Not including
the mount, the widest diameter is 5"
The plate says:
NorthEast Electric Co | Rochester NY

material such as lucite or 'applejuice' bakelite and there are also bands of
a silver colored metal, possibly nickel. It has the monogram "FJL".
An iron shaft running through the middle of the handle holds it together.
The well proportioned sturdy tapered oak shaft ends with a nice brass or bronze
tip.
When it's held to the light, the translucent parts glow with a goldish hue and
you can see the structure of the cane.

Lot of 4 Vintage Wooden Canes / Walking Sticks - $47.00 Includes S&H
Click image to left for more views.
from left to right:
-
Cane Whimsy - Was this a practice piece or was someone creating a funny prop? The wood is flexible and holds no weight. 29 1/2" tall. It is rough and unfinished.
-
Trained Wound Branch Cane - While it's possible the branch grew like this, I picture someone training it to make this cane. It has a very nice weight and feel. It's 34 1/2" tall. The tip is missing on this cane.
-
All Wood One Piece Walking Stick. The bark is peeled on the top and left natural on the bottom giving this cane a 2 toned look. It has no tip, but it looks like it never had one. The handle measures 6" across. It measures 35" tall plus 3/4" for the small branch stub on top.
-
Primitive Folk art sculpted cane. The handle may be a hardwood such as walnut. I can't say for sure. I'm not sure what effect the maker was going for, but the shape of the handle reminds me of a cartoon hairpiece - or from one side it could almost be the hebrew letter Chai. The handle measures 4 1/2" across. The cane is 37" tall. It looks to never have had a tip.
Vintage Umbrella Handle Mystery Material - Horn? Plastic? $26.00 Includes S&H
Click image to left for more views.
This handle is 6 3/8" long to the iron shaft. Overall the piece is 8"
Mystery Material??? The material has us stumped. It seems like some kind of plastic that wonderfully emulates a natural material such as horn. If so, it might be built up rather than cast. I see no sign of any seams. It really looks like a natural material except it kind of feels like a plastic of some sort.
Vintage Flower Carved Walking Stick Cane Montenvert Mer de Glace $51.00 (includes
S&H)
Click image to left for more views.
Carving of a flower - possibly an edelweiss. Also carved into the stick is
"Montenvert Mer De Glace". My best guess is that someone bought this
walking stick as they prepared to hike the glacier. The iron spiked tip definitely
looks to be designed for wintry, icy conditions and it's a sturdy cane. It's
a very nice carving, but we had a hard time capturing the details of it in the
photo especially the slanted font text just below the flower.
1" diameter at the widest point. approx. 37" tall
The Montenvert Mer de Glace (Sea of Ice) is a glacier located on the northern
slopes of the Mont Blanc massif, in the Alps. At 7 kilometres long and 200 metres
deep, it is the longest glacier in France. It is in the Rhône-Alpes region
in south-eastern France. It was the site of the 1924 Winter Olympics, the first
Winter Olympics.
This cane has been in our collection for over 30 years.
Vintage Sculpted Celluloid (or vegetable ivory?) & Amber Plastic Umbrella
Handle $51.00 (includes S&H)
Click image to left for more views.
The top decorative sphere is 1 3/8" diameter. There is a visible grain.
Don't know if this is celluloid or carved vegetable ivory.
The vintage amber plastic handle has a slight taper. Approx. 3/4" diameter
The length of the handle is approx. 6" long.
Overall length is 31". The umbrella does not open. It looks like
the latch mechanism may be bent.
As you can see, the light through the amber plastic gives a warm stained glass
feeling. The handle has a nice substantial feel to it.
While we hope the buyer wants the whole umbrella, - in the event that you don't, I can cut it.
Two General Electric X-Ray Calibration Charts $31.00 (includes S&H)

At the bottom of both black frames it says General Electric X-Ray Corporation
11 3/4" tall x 12 1/2" high
The glass on the one showing the graphs is intact, the other is missing. You
can't tell from the photos, but the paper is more of a manilla color. The paper
on each has minor staining and ripples.

Old Mercedes Benz Filter (unused) - $36.00
Click image to left for more views.
I assume that this is an oil filter. Never used, but there is a little bit of rust on the tin. It is 7 1/2" in height and 3 5/8" diameter. The following info is imprinted on the end. "617 184 01 25 k.01.2/1 Kombi-Einsatz Made in Austria"
Navy Submarine bell - electric - $81.00 includes S&H
Click image to left for more views.
We bought this bell when we lived in Groton CT, near the sub base in the 1970s. It reportedly came off a diesel sub, although I can't verify that. It is iron, with a very nice clear tone. The bell is 8" in diameter and it is approx. 5 1/4" deep. The following information is imprinted on the top.
"Bendix Aviation Corp. BKLYN NY"
"OR NO CAL5673-S ALT Date INSP"
"115 V.A.C. 60 CYC 346 Amps - Type B-4 Contr"

DIMENSIONS: 19 1/2" x 12 1/2" x 4"
There is a crack in the plastic over the "IG" in LIGHT, though you
can't see it in the pictures. The lit color is not correct. That's just the
best I could get with my digital camera.

Antique Pine Baby Sled Frame - $69.00 includes S&H;
Click image to left for more views.
This frame is made from 1/2" wide pine boards. It is 28" long, 15 1/2" wide, and 13 3/4" high. The back was cracked a long time ago, and was repaired with the 2 iron bars you see pictured. I would assume the 2 small pieces of wood that are visible at the back of this were the arms that held the handles. If this is the case, someone cut it a long while ago, because where it was cut has darkened with age. Also as you will note, there is no bottom.
This must have been a very sweet sled in its day. Even if left as is, it would make a great display for dolls or other small friends.
Forged Iron Buggy Step - $21.00 includes S&H
Click image to left for more views.
Need a step up? The step is 4 1/8" wide and 3 3/8" deep. The support bar is 19/5" long. It would bolt to the underside and the step protrudes enough to help climb up. Probably late 19th century.
Could be a conversation piece as a plant stand.
Antique Oriental Carved Panel: 2 Birds w/Blossoms - $95.00 includes S&H
Click image to left for more views.
This is a beautiful 2 sided relief carving. It's viewable from both sides,
although there is less detail on the carved back side. As you can see there
are pieces missing off the top and a few spaces in the middle as well. There
are also 3 or 4 cracks that should be relatively easy to reglue. The carving
on the flowers is a beautiful example of low relief carving and incorporates
the feeling of real movement in the petals.
Dimensions: 18" high by 36" wide. A nice addition to any wall.
I have saved this for a long time, hoping I'd find time to do some minor restoration
and then display it. It looks so nice, even incomplete. But now I'm pretty sure
I won't find that time. There is a slight reveal inside the frame that could
accept a piece of glass (or plexi) on either side if you wanted to display it
with both sides showing.
Primitive Crazy Quilt $45.00 includes S&H
Click image to left for more views.
This crazy quilt appears entirely made of hand stitched assembled squares and is a tied quilt. It has a very homey primitive feel to it. Many of the fabrics are from the 1800's. (We'll have to leave the dating of it to those more expert) - great fabrics ... early calicos and shirtings ...
Different patterns include: beautiful feather plumes; small rows of leaves; a print of small globes, crescents and starts; and tiny wallpaper-like prints (Unfortunately, not easily visible in these photos.)
The backing is in lovely browns, cream, and rust blocks interspersed with squares of 4-patch. It seems that the way the whole quilt is finished off is by folding the top side and the backing inward, and then by hand stitching around the edge.
We have owned this quilt for over 20 years, but have never attempted the project of cleaning and repairing it. There are some pink stains in a few of the squares and it's in desperate need of cleaning. Repatching is necessary since some of the patches (mostly on the back side) are worn and hanging loose. Also, some of the fabrics didn't hold up to the years, and may also need patching in.
This quilt could be repaired to its former glory or could be used as vintage parts to piece into another quilt of similar age.
Dimensions: Approximately 65" by 75"
Wizard Reciprocating Electric Fan -$47.00 includes S&H
Click image to left for more views.
Just in time for the summer? This "Wizard" reciprocating electric fan has a really cool streamline-shaped base and chromed accents, including a chrome vertical stripe in the front of the base which is not visible in the pictures. Even the control knob has a rocket futuristic look to it. This is being sold as is. There is no chord. There is also a screw missing on the bottom. The picture of the bottom also shows how it was designed to be wall mounted as well as sitting on a table top.
It is also hard to see in these photos the word "Wizard on the center of the cage, or the information that is on the base - which says, "Wizard 105-120V 55W Model 45K - 60 cycles Bersted Mfg. Co. Fostoria Ohio Oakville Ont. Canada.
DIMENSIONS: 15 1/4" tall - The diameter of the cage is 13 1/2" - The Fan blades measure 12" end to end.
Vidicraft Cordless Headphone System CSH-200 $49.00 includes Samp;H
Click image to left for more views.
Cordless Stereo Headphones
Never used. We took these out of the box when they were given to us brand new. We never set them up. Just put them back in the box and stuck them in the closet till we had a good place to use them. As you might guess, that never happened. That could easily have been over 20 years ago.
