  • c1800 Hand Forged colonial betty lamp 1 - Estate Fresh Austin

    c1800 Hand Forged colonial betty lamp 1

    1 in stock

    Nice Heavy forged iron betty lamp. Very minor loss to tip of door, no other issues, no holes. 3 3/8" x 4.25" , 10.5" tall with hanger extended. This early betty lamp burned grease for lighting in the 19th century. It is called a 'betty lamp' which comes from the word 'besser' in German (meaning better). Far superior to the rushlight or splint lamp, it evolved from the crusie lamp with the addition of a cover and a wick support which ensured that any oil/grease drippings from the wick flowed back into the reservoir. The betty lamp was probably the most widely used means of lighting among people of middle or lower income until refined whale oil became common. It burned any fat or oil that was available virtually without smell or smoke, using a twisted cotton wick. B70

    c1920 San Antonio Texas Quack Medicine Radio Magnetic Nerve Vitalizer with<br>Paperwork Describing Cures. Interesting and rare. Includes prospectus of<br>purposed corporation to distribute this device. So I actually believe this was<br>the salesmans' sample that they used to try to sell the device. In this paper it<br>states their price was $40-$50 in 1919, so they likely never sold any as I can<br>find no evidence of another existing. It cured crippled people, crossed eyed<br>people, all that good stuff. Untested by me. The corners to the box lid are<br>split.<br>If you're the gullible type please don't buy this expecting it you cure all your<br>ailments.

THE JUDD COMPANY WALLINGFORD, CN 1830 - 1954 The Judd ancestry can be traced back to Deacon Thomas Judd who came from England and settled in Cambridge, MA in 1633/4. Deacon Morton Judd, born in 1808, learned his trade in a brass foundry and then, established his own business in 1830. In 1833, Morton's brother, Oliver S., joined the company as partner and the name was changed to M & O.S. Judd. In 1853, Morton's eldest son, Albert, replaced Oliver S. as the business partner. And, the company's name was changed to M. Judd & Sons. In 1863, Albert purchased the business and sold it back to his uncle, Oliver S. In 1865, Morton and Albert formed their own company to manufacture "Builder's Hardware" in New Haven, CN. In 1870, the business evolved to the Judd Manufacturing Company when Edward, Oliver S.'s brother, became President. In 1877, Morton and his three sons, Albert, Hubert L. & Edward, erected a plant in Wallingford, CN where they began a busness to manufacture Stationers' and Druggists' hardware. It was during this time that the company became well known for their still and mechanical banks. (The first mechanical bank had been introduced in 1869. This bank was known as "Hall's Excelsior" made by J.& E. Stevens.) Judd banks were usually finished in a brown or maroon lacquer and were washed in a green coloring. Not until the early 1910's, did the company start making "Cast Iron " decorative products, such as, Doorstops, Bookends, Doorknockers, Inkwells. The Judd Company was sold to the Stanley Works Company in1954. isshelf

    c1830 Yellowware Jug 1754 Building Keene New Hampshire Main Street. Good early jug. It's a darker shade of yellow, possibly english.

It has a short tight hairline on one side of the spout that I didn't see until I was photographing it and I've had it for a really long time. No other damage. The paint is overglazed but it's old. I don't know if the paint is from the 1840's or the 1940's. it's 5.5" tall x 9" handle to spout. There were some Hampshire pottery pieces with similar decoration. Possibly one of the Hampshire artists was playing around with an antique jug 100 years ago, not sure. tw96

    Antique American Folk art puppet carved wood artists doll Milt Simpson Estate.<br>Amazing item on high quality museum grade stand. This is from the Estate of<br>Milton Simpson, author of several books and publications of Folk a. He was the<br>graphic designer who discovered the Woodbridge figures collection in New Jersey.<br>Not the construction worker that found them but the person who purchased them<br>all from a local pawn shop and recognized their importance. There is a very high<br>probability this piece is published in one or more of his books/publications.<br>It's a great hand carved, one of a kind piece. It's 9" tall and happens to be<br>painted black, if it were painted white, green, yellow, purple it would be<br>equally important in my eyes, really just a strange and wonderful thing with<br>these orange breasts, etc.<br><br>Milton Simpson (1911-2023)<br>Milton – also known by his friends and acquaintances as Milt - was born and<br>raised in Brooklyn, New York City and raised his family in Millburn, New Jersey.<br>He attended the New York School of Industrial Art (SIA), now the School of Art<br>and Design. He then worked for Incorporated Ideas Advertising Agency in New<br>Jersey before joining the United States Army, serving in Korea.<br>After his discharge from the Army, Milt attended The Workshop School of<br>Advertising & Editorial Art. Upon completion of his studies there, he became the<br>Art Director of The American Baby Magazine in New York, Assistant Art Director<br>at Lewin, Williams & Saylor in New Jersey, and then Art Director of Kenyon-Baker<br>Advertising & Baker Printing Company, (both of which were under one roof) in New<br>Jersey.

    1 in stock

    Nice Heavy forged iron betty lamp. 3 1/8" x 4.25" x 10.25" to tip of hanger fully extended. Some expected pitting but all here with no holes. This early betty lamp burned grease for lighting in the 19th century. It is called a 'betty lamp' which comes from the word 'besser' in German (meaning better). Far superior to the rushlight or splint lamp, it evolved from the crusie lamp with the addition of a cover and a wick support which ensured that any oil/grease drippings from the wick flowed back into the reservoir. The betty lamp was probably the most widely used means of lighting among people of middle or lower income until refined whale oil became common. It burned any fat or oil that was available virtually without smell or smoke, using a twisted cotton wick. B70
