Antiques  
CoffeeGrinder-t Old Coffee Grinder - originally was used in the Beloit A&P. Still works like a champ. In fact, I used it here in the coffee shop for the first couple of months that we were open. was $625
Now $360
RCA 45 Record Player RCA Victor 45 Record Player. Works good but hums a bit. It's fun to watch this work. $125
CabooseStove-t Authentic Caboose Stove. In great condition. This is a coal stove used to heat the caboose's of old time steam trains. Usually the ash grates tend to be burned out and warped... NOT this one!! Just like new condition. The normal price has been reduced in order to find this fella a good home. was $575
Now $300
CornPopper-t Old electric Popcorn Popper. Electric heats the unit, but you still have to supply the power to turn the crank that stirs the kernels so that you get all the corn popped. In very good condition. Heating element still works and cord is in great shape too. $18
General Electric Radio General Electric Radio - Model E61. Old tube radio in good cosmetic shape. I have no idea if this radio works. All tubes are in place but the cord needs replacing so I haven't been brave enough to test it out. I've been using it as a decoration cause I prefer the sound of an iPod. $39
Tin Toys  
Air Zepplin Tin Windup Toy Windup Zepplin Toy. Works great and includes the box. Not an antique but a reproduction. This is about 10 years old. Made of aluminum with Tin wheels and windup spring motor. $23
Barber Greene Barber Green toy elevator. Completely reconditioned and in perfect working order. Only thing missing is the box and this could be called mint condition $225
Duck on Bike Tin Toy A Wind-Up tin Duck on a Bike. Wind up the clock work motor and this duck rides around in a circle as the top of his cap spins like a whirly bird. Not an antique but a reproduction. Looks just like the real thing and includes the original box. $23
Marx Main Street Wind-Up Tin Litho Toy Vintage Marx Main Street Tin Litho, C1929. Contains moving vehicles, traffice cop, and cart. Entire unit is in excellent condition but wind up motor is stuck. I believe it is overwound but will leave that up to the new owner to resolve.Litho on the entire piece is excellent for its age. Includes the original box. The box printing is still in great shape but the end tabs on one end of the box have become separated. They are included but not in one piece (see pics) $395
Tin Toy Crane Tin Toy Crane. In great working condition. This is a reproduction too and is nearly a decade old. Comes with original box. $65
LumShovel-t Marx, Lumar Contractors orange steam shovel. This is a real jem because it includes the original rubber tracks. Most toys you find like this do not have these and the sellers usually say the unit is on wheels. The original toy came like THIS - they did not come on wheels. If you take the tracks off, you have wheels. The other thing I like about this toy is that it looks like it has been played with, but not abused. The perfect "Play" condition that real collectors seek. $70
Universal Fly Planes Universal Fly Planes. Wind-up tin toy that makes a sputtering noise as the planes fly around the globe. Not an antique - but a great reproduction. A newer tin toy made the way the originals were made. Great litho printing and includes the factory box. $23
Ohio Art Play Pump Ohio Art Tin Litho. About 10 in. tall and 6in at base. This is by far my most favorite piece in my tin toy collection. Not only cause I had one like this when I was a kid, but this toy is much older that the toy I had. If you notice, the handle is made of stiff heavy wire with a wooden knob on the end. The toys of my era had a stamped handle.As you can see, the toy is in great "Played With" condition. There is some rust in the bottom of the base but the pump still works (I recently tried it) and it squeaks like I remember as well. This toy also comes with the original box. The box is nothing to look at, even if it was in pristine condition - all the manufacturers efforts went into the making of the toy and not the box, but the box is included. The condition of the box is nothing to write home about (see pictures) but it is there none the less. $145
Steam Engine - Stationary Stationary Steam Engine. Excellent shape - runs beautifully. Fill half full with water and place tablet fuel in chamber and light. After water starts to boil and builds a head of steam, toot the whistle and open the main steam valve to make this toy come to life. Includes the original box too. $425
Collectibles  
Fisher Price Family Farm Fisher Price Family Play Farm. When the door to the barn opens, a mooo sound is heard. The cardboard silo is in excellent condition. The set is missing a few of the animals and the fence pieces. The extras shown here are included, but not part of the original set. What makes this set so unusual is that condition of the silo. This is a great starter. The really hard pieces to find are here - you just add the small incidentals. $20
MasonBank-t Mason Cast Iron Bank. This is a cast iron reproduction. Casting is somewhat crude but adds to the character of the bank. $42
Miscellaneous  
CupClock-t Battery operated clock shaped like a cup of piping hot coffee. Very unique! $30
Paper Camera Paper Camera Kit. This is a working camera made of heavy duty card stock paper. The box is still in the shrink plastic wrap. I bought this and another kit that I was going to put together but you know how those things go. Instead it got stuck in a closet and now is up for sale.

$60
Paper Clock Kit A working Paper Clock Kit. This clock will actually work (so they claim) after you cut out all the pieces and assemble them into a complete clock. This is the other kit I bought and never seemed to get around to putting it together. I have removed the plastic shrink wrap from this box, but all the pieces are still intact inside the master box.
