Lynne Nelson Antiques
I have been buying and selling 18th and 19th century country antiques for approximately 35 years concentrating in early paint, iron, lighting, and items to be found in the early kitchen. For the past several years I have shown in many of the antique shows throughout New England.
This "lamp" is known as a Sticking Tommy. It is an iron candle holder that was used by sailors to stick into wooden posts or flat surfaces below decks to provide them with a little extra light. I had always been told that this was a miners lamp? It is in very good condition measuring 12 inches long.
Price: $89 inc. shipping
Here is a great early cleated tin lantern with double candle holders. The pattern is an allover starburst. This lantern is circa 1840. It measures 15 inches tall, 20 inches in circumference, and the ring has a 9 inch diameter. This "Paul Revere" lantern is in very good condition. The surface is light rust but no apparent pitting. More pictures are available if needed.
Price: SOLD
This early 19th C Pantry box is 7 1/2 in. in diameter and 3 1/2 in. tall. It is in very good condition except for a small loss on the seam of the cover and a tiny loss of wood on the very bottom of the seam on the box. The color is a sage green with early wear to the paint (easily seen in the photo). No cracks no losses (except seam as described) and the seam is tight. Great box from my collection.
Price: $275 inc. Shipping (best Price)
The two larger Redware jars are 2 1/2 to 3 1/4 inches tall with a 3 to 3 1/2 in top diameter. They both taper at the bottom. The mini Redware container looks like the small individual cream containers. These are in good condition with no chips or cracks
Price: $59 includes shipping
This 19th c grain MEASURE is painted white, green, red, and yellow. It is a very old measure and the paint looks very old (I have had it for 20 years and it was stored since then) but I am sure the paint was not the original. It measures 5 1/2 inches tall with a n 8 3/4 inch diameter. The condition is good with the usual wear marks.
Price: SOLD
