The antique and rustc items thread

[threedogs]

You have got some fantastic old stuff TD , instead of antique shop I'm thinking museum .
As for photos upside down no idea they are the right way up when I view them , for some reason apple and Microsoft just don't get along .

Received these two kettles from my son on my last birthday,
both date from mid 1800s, plan is to polish them and just display them.

Ive re-coed a few of these burners the one with the tank is brand new from an empty house.
You can buy all the parts you'll ever need from the UK, ,,tip a bit of metho in the cup ,,light
that then give it a few pumps works a treat imo cant get the paint stripper gun to work
though must be doing something wrong, they all need a decent polish to display

Very old Companion burner , used to sell Tilley lamps at the camping store in Canberra close to 30 years ago .
Thank god for LED lights I say .

Ill email you the best led camp light Ive come across.
The burners are a little noisey like the coleman lights of old

A great book to get hold of is by Alan Carter and has prices and pictures on all things antique
furniture ,crystal,glassware you name it well worth buying

Occasionally I watch the antique road show but won't admit it .

Not sure if you call this an antique but if you bought one new you would be .

Certainly worth something to an Austin collector
Picked this 1911 gramophone cabinet up for $10 stripped it back
had a single door made then stained it with a walnut stain then a semi gloss
My Ansonia 1890 clock sits on top along with other bits and pieces.
where the phonograph once sat Ive converted it to hold CDs, was going to house
a Hi Fi system still might, even fitted a wind up handle to the side, adds a bit of charm lol
