My Want List

Thought I would put up a want list of some of the items I would like to add to my collections. Who knows, some of you just might have and want to sell one of these items or know of someone else who does. If so, I might just be the person who would be interested in buying it.

I am using two lists, one for specific items that I am looking for and another list for more general wanted items for my collections. Where possible, I have added photos of what sort of items I want. This will be a constantly changing page, so I encourage you to come back often and see what new things I have added (or taken away if I manage to acquire them).


SPECIFIC ITEMS


Cast Iron Washing Mangle


 

I have always wanted one of these for as long as I can remember. It would go so well with my antique washing machine, Crown copper, laundry trolley and collection of other laundry items.

They vary quite considerably in style but this style would be my favourite. Love the wooden rollers and decorative cast iron. All mangles in any condition considered.




Edison Cylinder Gramophone




I have a few Edison cylinders but nothing to play them on. A cylinder gramophone would make a nice addition to my upright 78rpm gramophone and my portable 78rpm gramophone. And I could finally listen to the few cylinders that I already have.


Apothecary Pill Roller Machine   ACQUIRED




A Pill Roller Machine would make a great addition to my Pharmaceutical collection. I have been looking for one (at the right price of course) for many years. Got close to owning one the other day but last minute bidding on eBay fouled up and I missed out.

GOT A PILL ROLLER MACHINE A SHORT TIME AGO. ALMOST IDENTICAL TO THE SMALL ONE DIRECTLY ABOVE. HAS THE TRAY AND ALL. DON'T THINK IT HAS HARDLY BEEN USED. 
STAY TUNED FOR A POST FEATURING IT AND SOME OTHER RECENTLY ACQUIRED PHARMACY ITEMS.


Brass Apothecary's Packet Folder


These were used by the pharmacist to fold paper to make a packet for powder medicines. Would also make a nice addition to my collection.

    1. Hi, from what I have seen the price varies considerably dependant on condition. A complete unrestored extinguisher should sell for $50 - 100, whereas a complete and all polished up could go for at double these figures. But in the end they are only worth what someone will pay for them. There seems to be a few available on eBay at the moment.
      Hope this helps,
      John
