Enjoy scrolling through EAPG (Early American Pattern/Pressed Glass), with various other items in smaller quantity: other vintage glass, pottery, silver, pewter, old coins, collector books, etc. Victorian antique phonographs collected in the 1950-60’s are being added slowly; new, unused, precious and semi-precious gem jewelry, some uniques, are added as time permits; older costume jewelry will be added as it is sorted. See below (About us) for the big picture! I am strictly a collector, not an expert or a dealer. I’m just lucky enough to be able to handle a lot of “stuff.” ;) |

Westmoreland: BEADED LOOP INDIAN HEAD plate
This is a pretty white milk glass plate, 7 ¼" in diameter. The center has an Indian in full headdress; there are scalloped beads surrounding him. The glass is quite nice, showing a translucent opalescence on the high points (beads, edges, etc.) The back has WG superimposed, consistent with Westmoreland Glass. I’ve read that WG made this pattern early on, but that it was being re-made in 1959 from original molds, in sizes 7-8 1/2". I do not know the age of this particular plate, which is 7 ¼" point-to-point, or scallop-to-scallop. There is no damage.

6 Pairpoint Cup Plates: vaseline, purple, clear
Six adorable animal cup plates from the well-known Pairpoint company. The Pairpoint Company was opened in 1837, and bills itself as "America’s Oldest Glassworks." Cup plates were one of the first items to be "pressed, as in EAPG (Early American Pressed Glass). They were used as a kind of "coaster" for a teacup, after the tea was poured from the cup into a "saucer" to cool. According to their site, all Pairpoint cup plates were made in limited quantities. I believe that 5 of the plates are part of the Thornton Burgess critters series. These tiny plates with wonderful detail measure 3 ½" or slightly less across. In purple: Peter Rabbit (with whiskers) and Jimmy Skunk (c 1978, #43). In yellow vaseline: Spotty the Turtle, and Green Briar (a swan). In clear: Danny Meadow Mouse (c 1983, #204), and Paddy the Beaver (c 1977, #36). No damage. Buyer to pay for shipping by USPS Priority with Delivery Confirmation, 3 lbs. from 06068. #474 |

2 Glass candy containers: SANTA ON CHIMNEY; ARMORED TANK
2 clear old candy containers. Santa Claus Descending Brick Chimney with rounded head, measures 5 ¼ tall x 2 1/8" across the base. The chimney is marked "USA" on one side and "VG" on the other. I believe the VG stands for Victory Glass Co., and originally this container had a screwed metal closure underneath. The glass is yellowed; there is a chip off the front chimney on one side, and a large chunk missing from the base on the same side. The latter would not be seen if the metal closure were available. And Santa can be displayed quite well with the left side forward. The 2nd: Armored Tank with Driver, is clear glass, measuring 4 ¼" long x 2" tall. This has "USA" on both sides of the tank, just below the driver. Faintly seen under the base edge is: Victory Glass Toy Division" and "oz. avor. There is nice detail to the tank with just one tiny flake off the underside edge. This is said to have had a cardboard closure; there is a hint of brown paint (a few tiny spots).

EAPG: STARRED SCROLL cruet with stopper *Mint
Excellent handled clear cruet with pressed geometric stopper. Pattern is Starred Scroll, aka Crescent and Fan, c 1900. Glass is clean and brilliant; there is a cut-and-shut base. Minimal roughness around the stopper area is not uncommon. The stopper appears to fit fairly well. I don’t know if it is original, since I did not find a specific photo of the cruet. *Mint condition with no damage, no graying, etc. Measures 6 1/2" tall with stopper.

EAPG era: Pair of TOY CANDLESTICKS 3 inches
This pair of clear child’s toy candlesticks is 3-mold, 3" tall with a base of 2." I went in circles trying to ID age and origin. Similar sticks were made by Baccarat, Fostoria, and McKee. Lechler shows a similar set, but of a different size. My best guess is a possible French origin. Though these are an exact match in design, one appears to have a slightly better quality, clarity of the glass. It does not show on the photos. They both have superficial stress lines in the base, which suggests age, since these lines usually came during the cooling of EAPG era glass. One has a double crack at the neck and one tiny flake under the base. Buyer to pay for shipping by USPS Priority with Delivery Confirmation, 1 lbs. from 06068. #470 |

EAPG era: Easley CLEAR JUICER
Cute little clear juicer with 3 relief imprints around the edges: Easley’s Pat. July.10.1888. Sep.10.1889. Measures 3 ¾" across x 2 ¼" in height. The tip has several chips, which I tried to show in photos. This can be displayed fairly well though, since the chips seem to be mostly on one side. There are a few stress lines in the base. The base also shows wear. I found this listed in Kitchen Glassware of the Depression. However, this diminutive juicer glows nicely under UV light. I know that this is an imperfect indicator of age, but I’d like to believe that the patent dates mean something…you can be the judge.

EAPG: RED BLOCK, Goblet Near-mint
Superb condition of red flashed over clear goblet in the pattern Red Block. Made by several companies: Bryce, Central, Doyle, Duncan, etc., c 1885-1890. Other than tiny flea nicks, mostly at the upper section, the red flash is amazingly intact, showing only 2 small scratches. You might find a bit of dirt in the crevices (not much), because I didn’t want to scrub away the stain. Of note is a pot-stone attesting to the original condition of this goblet. Repros are known, but I doubt that they’d make ‘em with pot-stones, which were contaminants in early glass. Height is 5 7/8".

EAPG: BUTTON ARCHES, gold engraved leaf band, 2 tumblers
Two unusual tumblers in the Button Arches pattern. Unlike most items in this pattern which were souvenired, these tumblers have an engraved, then gilded leaf band in the clear upper section. Made by Duncan Glass Co. # 39, c 1885, and Duncan & Miller c 1900, US Glass did not make these! Oriental Glass is mentioned as a decorator with ruby; Jefferson Glass is also mentioned as a possible source. However, these have a manufacturer-ground base which is quite typical for Duncan items! The gold leaf band around the top is engraved not etched. These are near-mint condition with no chips or cracks, and only an occasional stray short scratch. Measure 3 5/8" tall.

EAPG: TONG pattern flint celery
Wonderful flint ring to this tall, heavy, old clear flint celery in the Tong pattern, c 1850-1860’s, mfgr. unknown. This is an early one with a polished pontil and lots of under-base wear. Nice thumbprint/geometric design with a slight twist to the stem and a few fold-lines in the lower section. There is graying inside (water damage), most obvious in the lower third. There are no chips or cracks, and considering its age and obvious use, it is a stately oldster. Measures 7 1/2" tall. Buyer to pay for shipping by USPS Priority with Delivery Confirmation, 5 lbs. from 06068. #465 |

EAPG: PALING pattern footed cream pitcher
Footed EAPG creamer in what I believe is the pattern, Paling, aka Banded Paling, c 1880, mfgr. unknown. I found this pictured in Kamm 3, # 31, where all is the same except for the stem. This stem is plain, while in Kamm it appears to be ribbed. Kamm mentions "5 spreading knobs" where the upper part of the handle attaches to the body. To me it looks like a paw, but it does have the 5 knobs, along with the thumb rest at the bend. The body has the "fence motif" with a nice wavy top edge. It is shown with the same stem in McCain, but she is known to have taken drawings from Kamm. In any case, it is not a common pattern. It is in near-Mint condition. Except for a bit of roughness along the top horizontal mold line and a fold-line or 2 in the design, there is no after-market damage, with glass being clear, clean, and bright. Height is 5 7/8".

TREE OF LIFE WITH HAND footed cream pitcher Hobbs
One of the larger creamers of the EAPG era, this Hobbs Brockunier no. 90 & 98 pattern is also known as Tree-of-Life-with-Hand, c 1879. Of the several Tree of Life patterns, this Hobbs version is most striking. It has a hand holding a ball as the stem, above a ruffled-edged foot. A pair of 2 hands (with forearms) holding a ball comprise the handle. The characteristic interpretive tree with leaves design is shown in a close-up; this part of the pattern is sometimes referred to as a melon design, since it is lobed like a musk melon. In several close-up photos damage to the handle is shown: there is a straight crack in the elbow of the handle, with 2 nearby chips. There is no contre-coup crack in any other part of the handle as is often seen! I have checked it over carefully, and find that the rest of the handle is totally intact. If not for the small chips local to the crack, one would think that it was a fold in the design. Condition is otherwise lovely, with no chips on the base or upper rim, and only a few stress lines in the base (superficial and part of the cooling process). As seen in the first photo, pitcher can be displayed quite nicely. Obviously it needs and deserves TLC. Measures 7 1/8" tall. There are no known repros of this pattern.

Stained Glass, 1 HUGE lot of just about everything
LARGE amount of stained glass material:
Approximately 50 quarter sheets of glass, 240 hobby sheets, 4 large pcs. mirror glass (including 2-way), box of sealed copper foil (7/32"), box of solder; over 200 bevels (most in boxes or sets); some Swarovski gems, 5 lbs. of various nuggets.
Morton portable glass shop (older style, 32x22) with components; Glastar foiler; Inland Score One (hand-machine scorer); Inland strip/circle cutter (from small to 24"); 4 full-size Worden lampshade forms: 2 of the 16" cone, a 16" dome, a 7" cone, along with a Worden form holder & a few patterns for these.
There are 12 new antique-looking lamp bases in several sizes, with various harps & electrical components (some pricier 2 or 3 way, most single); lamp caps & spiders; a bag of small night lights with a few metal forms; oak kits for clock, desk pen set & small lamps.
More than 30 pattern books many with full-size patterns (mostly lamp-shade & mirrors plus some others); Warner-Crivellaro & Studio J full-size flat patterns (over 30); other odds and ends: small amount of came with notcher; tubing for making small hinges; fancy brass edger strip; small cast pieces with patterns for card holders & a butterfly-angel; aluminum angles for lamp-making, sheet copper; reinforcing bars & braid, pre-tinned copper wire, etc.
If names like Kokomo, Wissmach, Youghiogheny, Spectrum, Bullseye, and ribbon-glass, antique-repro glass, textured, cathedral, wispy, streaky, seedy, opalescent, gluechip, iridizied, etc., with a nice selection of colors get you drooling, and you have some basic tools of your own (glass nippers, an adjustable soldering iron), then this could be the backbone of a real stained glass shop! All you’d have to add would be some consumables: flux, cutting oil, patina, glass cleaner/polish. I used to make 3 dimensional items in the early 1990’s. Been there, done that. Haven’t touched it in years, but made some wonderful gifts which live-on in fond memories!
First photo shows quarter sheets in wooden storage box with separators. Transfile boxes in next photo are about half-filled with hobby sheets. These are organized by main color: ex. yellow-orange-red, turquoise-blue-green, white-gray-beige-amber, cathedrals, solids, etc., with one mixed box of vintage 1992 Youghiogheny repro-Tiffany glass. Must be sold in its entirety. And price is not negotiable. Original cost was over 10k in 1990’s, and would easily cost more than that now based on what I’ve seen online.
Collection is located in Northwest CT (near MA & NY borders), about 2 hours north of Manhattan; easy access from major highways. Must be picked up; buyer should bring material to cushion/pack for safe transport.

Zonophone Grand Opera front mount disc phonograph c 1901-04
The Universal Talking Machine Mfg. Co. of New York, was founded in 1898 and marketed the Zon-O-Phone, disc record player, until 1904 when the company was bought out by Victor.
Made between 1901-1904, until the addition of the Royal Grand model in 1905, this front mount Grand Opera, with glass viewing window on the back, was the top of the line Zonophone for Universal Talking Machine. Said to be able to play five 10" flat disc records with one winding, the table is 9", green felt covered. The felt is original with one circular streak from wear by the reproducer. The 30" original brass horn has a few small dings on the cup, a shallow fold above where it lays on the arm, and mottled tarnishing from 50 or so years of non-use, The horn was shiny when my father acquired it. The connector is an original brass elbow. The crank is original.
Equipped with a red metal Mobley reproducer marked patent May 8, 1900. Although not original, the reproducer (needle holder) is contemporary to the machine, and is often found on the Zonophones, since their original head was quite fragile.
The wood is in wonderful condition, a warm rich reddish brown, with faint age-crazing on the finish; decals are intact with good color. Base of machine measures 13" x 16". The metal platform is embossed with ornate raised lettering and designs; the table turns freely; I find no obvious condition problems. As with other machines, I put lemon oil on the wood, and high quality light sewing machine oil on the mechanism inside. According to Reiss, this is given a 4 out of 5* rarity (fairly rare).
This is another one of my father’s phonographs, which were collected in the late 1950’s-early 1960’s. As far as I know, he made no changes or restorations to this machine. Other than the replacement Mobley reproducer, this phonograph is in excellent original condition.
Currently, this machine is located in northwest Connecticut, convenient to major highways, and can be viewed by appointment. Please email with any questions or for more photos if needed. Buyer is to arrange for shipping or pick-up

Regina Hexaphone, 6-Cylinder Jukebox, model 102, c 1911-15
The Regina Music Box Co. made about 8,000 of these early cylinder record jukeboxes in 4 styles. This is the 2nd style of Regina Hexaphone, a model 102, with the self-contained wooded horn.
In the early 1900’s, when this machine most likely would have been in a public establishment (at least one was in a church hall!), a customer inserted a nickel into the slot on the right. He then turned the large round knob (on the right), to select which one of 6 cylinder-style records he wanted to hear. Finally, after turning the large crank (on the right), the machine was wound and the playing head was pulled across to the far left side of the machine where the head would drop, and the record began to play.
The 6 blue Amberol cylinders (4 minute) are the same records which were put on the machine almost 50 years ago. They represent a nice selection of types of music available at the time of manufacture. The sound is loud, clear and bright, with sung words easily understood.
This oak wood machine was refurbished/refinished in 1958 by my father who was an avid collector. The finish has aged nicely. Two gears were replaced (I have the originals). The machine was converted to play a quarter instead of a nickel.
Except for the top wooden gallery, all necessary parts are present, including the original lock with 2 keys (Eagle Lock Co.), as well as bolts to anchor the machine to the floor (to avoid theft). There is a short diagonal crack in the left upper rear mirror. The front glass in intact. Closing rods and their snaps are strong.
I have recently lightly oiled both the wood (lemon oil) and the interior moving parts (high quality sewing machine oil). But the machine probably needs a more thorough cleaning and re-oiling/greasing of the mechanism. A small lever at the front on the right where the coin drops (last photo) needs a gentle flick up in order to start playing…it is tight. The rubber connector between the playing head and horn has hardened, probably needing replacement in order to stay firmly attached. I believe this machine also needs 2 springs to be replaced: one which aids the head/horn to traverse the cylinder (behind & below the playing area), and one to help lift up the head and stop rotation after playing.
In the 1950's when it was first refurbished, it played with no problem. However, after 50 years of pretty much just standing in the living room, there's no doubt that it needs some "TLC" to play as originally intended, by the drop of a coin!
This measures 49 3/4" tall, with a body width of 24 1/4" (add 2 1/2" to width for handle & slot); it is 18" deep. It is quite heavy, and would need special handling to move. Buyer will have to arrange for moving.
My family has treasured this wonderful early jukebox for both its beauty and uniqueness. It was my father’s pride and joy. Currently, it is located in northwest Connecticut, convenient to major highways, and can be viewed by appointment. Please email with any questions or for more photos if needed.

Exceptional Sitzendorf double salt girl on baskets
Wonderful hand-painted detail on this colorful German, Meissen-style double salt. A pretty girl with striped skirt, a flowered hat, & red shoes, sits astride 2 flower baskets, holding a single flower in her left hand. The piece is marked in blue under the glaze (see photo). My research attributes this mark to Sitzendorfer Porzellen-fabrik Gebruder Voigt, 1858-1896. There is another place under the base where a second mark looks to have been scratched off. I could not get a clue as to what was in that 2nd section. This is not my area of primary interest, so please look at the photos & make an intelligent judgement for yourself. I have had this piece for quite some time. What attracted me most, was the detailed painting of each individual hair in the girl’s eyebrows! And, of course, her gold trimmed red shoes. Base measures 4" x 2 ½"; 4 ¾" tall. No damage. Buyer to pay for shipping by USPS Priority with Delivery Confirmation, 2 lbs. from 06068. #462 |
