The Mother of all Apple Peelers – 1889

The explosion proof globes have always been a favourite of mine and I offer a number of different examples with a 5 inch diameter. But I have never seen an explosion proof fixture with a thick glass 8 inch diameter. The impressive scale of this unique Industrial lamp gives it a striking appearance. The heavy glass screws into a two-piece top of brass and cast iron. The globe has the feel of small fish bowl. This is a nice dramatic Industrial pendant. This Classic design is an Industrial icon and original examples are very difficult to find. If you are doing a restaurant, hotel or just 3 matching lamps over a kitchen island, good luck trying to find a matching set. We have received many requests over the years for collections of this lamp. The good news is Early Electrics Design Studio...

A Recording dial clock by the International Time Recording Company, Endicott, New York. In the original oak case and (the first we have ever seen) original table stand. The dial measures 30" diameter. Hight on the table is 71". When plugged in the interior light comes on and the clock motor hums. Note: From the American History Museum website: "at the end of the 1800s, early 1900s the industrial revolution was taking place and large numbers of people were taking jobs in the cities. Being punctual was the expected behavior as "time is money" attitude prevailed. Also, recording and scrutinizing expenses for labor, materials and overhead were getting more attention than ever before. By the early twentieth century the International Time Recording Company supplied an entire line of timekeeping devices, including master clocks, several types of time clocks, and time stamps. Founded in 1900, the firm continuously expanded its product line, underwent several reorganizations and name changes, and emerged in 1924 as the International Business Machine Corporation, familiar today as IBM. One of the firm's most popular products was the dial time recorder...

Presented is an uncommon 1889 map of the western United States, titled “The Pacific States and Territories.” The vertical map depicts the Western states at the time: Washington, Oregon, California, Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico. They are bordered by British America to the north, Lower California, Mexico and Texas to the south, and North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska and Texas to the east.

Crisscrossing across the states, railroad routes are identified with hatched blacklines. Death Valley, Yosemite, Yellowstone National Park, as well as the key mining towns, like Virginia City...
