Sun Sculpture manufactured by Underwood & Underwood, New York. Patented June 11.1901. Have quite a few photos for it, that are packed in a bible book box of some sort and an old wooden Monopole Magnums Mild Tobacco box. Search the web and came across one other with a few similar photos.
Not sure if this fits in here, but I found a December, 1977 to January, 1978 The Road Ahead paper page which had an advert for CB`s. The Road Ahead is printed for the RACQ I think. I`m not sure what I`ll do with it. I have thought of finding a picture frame to put it in, unless some one else wants it.
Just after they were legalized and I got my car license. Fun times.Quote:

some of the older quirky anvertisments might be worth framing.
I have some "Wheels" magazines from the mid 50's saying
transistor radios were just a passing fad and would never catch on
how wrong were those "experts".
great items for mancave walls etc
Dont know how old this mouse trap is 4 in 1,,my oldest rat trap is from 1895.
It presents well with the others, need to do a new exhibit somehow.
Its all history to me,,,,,you know the last thing a mouse says before the trap goes off

I remember paying $14 to $17 I think it was in 1987 - 88 for a CB licence. Had some fun times too and now the internet has taken its place.Quote:

OOI the Chinese writing is the same quote as "Good ,better best
never let it rest, till your good is better and your better best".
Telecom pinched for a while, slackers
I was told it was Pitman's shorthand on them, I still can't read it.
Yes you are correct mate, it says "Water is the gift of God, but beer is a concoction of the devil, don't drink beer."Quote:

@ Three Dogs. Here`s the one I acquired the other day. It has a little tin label with MAWSON with an arrow through the middle from M to N and also has REGD No 2465. The last digit looks like a 5, as there`s a bit of paint on it that makes it a bit hard to read.
I like the front loader compared to the top loader style.Quote:

Last one is a red cadar ice box from 1850
also have 3 meat safes from 1860s to about 1920 they are great for entertainment units
One is baltic pine the others are hard wood of some kind
Are you going to strip it back, looks like it a ply wood one from the photo
Does yours still have the glass tube down the back for the melted ice. I cant
fing and glass drip trays anywhere. spares are readily available from the states
Mawson is an Aussie brand try and keep label in tact.
I made thatcircle of timber and the brass mess I think it fits in ok, normally
I think they had a cork to controll the temperature. silky oak is on the right but now
is fully recoed wuth brass everything, Ill try and find a decent pic, gave it a coat of semigloss
estopol
@threedogs. Haven`t had a proper look at the old fridge, but do know the back has a plywood look that it gets when it starts to lift, but still solid enough. From memory, there`s a hole at the top on the inside of the main cabinet, that looks like it could of had a drain for the water to go down. No glass drain and hopefully I will strip it back one day. I might need to make up some shelves for it too, as it has none at the moment. Picked it up for zilch. Your lot look okay.
Good price and would look awesome stripped back. those first 2 photos are the same fridgeQuote:

This one has enamel inserts on the inside of the doors. Some are Gal with brass screws and
brass mesh trays Pics are the same ice chest paid $10 for this one.
$40 for the 1850 one from the Shamrock hotel in Bendigo. My silky oak one I paid $100.
now fully recoed with polished brass tray and screw head plus a complete set of brass hinges
and latches plus a pretty cool brass name plate value of that now Id put at $450
Scored an old lantern the other day and found some thing similar on the internet that it may of been used for the railways, works well too. The lantern slides in to the outer tin.
The one that I have, had laundry powder stored in it. I guess they found another use for them, when time changed.Quote:

@threedogs. How dare you say that, geez, ha ha ha. I`ll keep it going as a going concern and use citronella instead of kerosene, as I reckon it smells better. Not a bad find for nothing and I have seen some thing similar on the internet, which was sold for around $92.
