NON-MUSICAL

   WM-138 Wonderful Odell Typewriter We know nothing about typewriters, but we couldn't pass up this wonderful Odell typewriter. Very ornate castings, wonderfully unusual format, what a great and curious addition to any collection! In really excellent and complete (as far as we can tell) condition, complete with original carrying case. We found one of these that sold for $1300 on Ebay, this one is only $950.



 

   SCALES! SCALES ! SCALES! A Major Hoard of Austrian and German Scales. When we purchased the Albert Copeland hoard of Vienna Wall Clocks, we also purchased a hoard of two-pan style Austrian food scales. Made of cast or wrought iron, these are heavy and decorative. Some have pans with them, some do not. They range in size roughly from 8 ½" tall by 16" wide to 11 ½" tall by 22 ½" wide. There are no weights. We have about 1200 - 1400 of these, virtually all still wrapped from when they were imported from Austria many years ago. We would like to sell these in quantities to dealers or collectors who want to resell to support their collections. We have them priced at $50 each (without pans), or two for $45 each, or five or more at $40 each, ten or more $35 each. If you want more than ten - talk to us! Pans are $10 per pair with scale purchases, while they last - we don't seem to have nearly as many pans as we have scales.



 

  CV-2 Mills $.010 "Bursting Cherry" Slot Machine.  Castings have been very nicely repainted.  Works very well although I haven't hit a payoff yet!  $1450.


 

  CV-3 Mills $0.05 "Castle Front" Slot Machine.  All original condition.   Paint flaking.  Works well, pays off.  $1350


 

  CV-15 Brandt Change Machine. Neat early change making machine, great cast designs, black case. $150


 

  CV-16 Brandt Change Machine. Another neat change machine with even better castings, silver/grey color case. $250

 
 

  NH-3 Neat Early Barograph Recording Barometer Under Glass. We don’t know a thing about barometers or barographs, but this one looked really neat and early and came along in a small collection we purchased. Case is 13 ¼” wide, 7 ½” deep, 6 ½” high. The photos will have to speak for themselves in this case. $450.


 


 

Important Art Deco Art Glass Windows. Set of three large high Art Deco windows from a bank building in New Mexico. These are fabulous “high” Art Deco design, obviously custom made for this bank, believed to be from the 1920’s or 1930’s. Fine condition. One window (photos) has be reframed in a very expensive art deco frame, the other two are as they came out of the building (you can have the other two reframed, it cost us about $3000 for the custom frame for the first window, done by a metal sculptor here in Eureka Springs). Window is 36” wide, 62” high, frame is 40” wide, 66 ¼” high, 2” deep. The photos do not do justice to the window because of the lack of lighting behind it when the photos were taken. Truly an extraordinary set. $15,000 for the set of three.


 

 

“Premier Jr.” Nickel Plated Cash Register Made By Michigan Cash Register Co. Probably circa 1905 – 1910. Very nice all original condition. $800.

 

 

Original Carousel Chariot, Heavily Carved. We purchased this carousel chariot back in the 1980’s from Norton in Michigan, for our own collection, because the theme was so delightful and the carving so great. We felt that chariots represented the most “displayable” of carousel carvings because they can be disassembled and the carved side can be hung on a wall. I don’t recall the maker of the chariot, we once knew, but it is one of the top five carousel carving companies. $4500

 


 

  OZ-78 Four Modern Xylophones. Two “marching” xylophones on metal harp frames, one in a suitcase, one set of barbells from Player Piano Supply. Presumably bought to make automatic xylophones to add to pianos or organs. $400 for the four as a lot.
 
 

The Encyclopedia is Back!  We have acquired a limited supply of brand new copies of the Encyclopedia of Automatic Musical Instruments by Q. David Bowers.  This 1000 page, heavily illustrated, oversized tome is the "bible" of mechanical music.  Only $100 postpaid in the U.S., two for $180, five for $400 while supply lasts.

BOOKS! BOOKS! BOOKS! We have lots of books and other paper material related to mechanical music. We have a separate book list, please email us for a copy. We have copies of Barrel Organ, Clockwork Music, and many other out of print books on mechanical music, some very scarce.  Email us at mroenigk@aol.com to request our latest book list.
