The antique and rustc items thread

[threedogs]

@ 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.
more uses, keeps wine perfect, good pick up, first two [same one] are just ply
the last is a silky oak thats a ripper.
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
