HUGE EARLY WROUGHT IRON CRANE
This 18th century crane came out of an early house in Avon, Connecticut. The house was an early 18th century center chimney colonial with a huge walk in fireplace. Rather than "Rumfordising" the fireplace the early occupants must have just had a very long crane manufactured for convenience so they would no longer have to use the lugpole. The crane measures a full 59 inches in length. It is made to fit between lugs spaced at 32 1/4 - 35 1/2" apart. It would fit within lugs with an approximate opening diameter of 3/4".

SIGNED WROUGHT IRON SKILLET
This is an early skillet. It probably dated to the 18th century. The handle is marked I. Winkler probably the blacksmith who manufactured the skillet. I have not been able to determine who he was or where he was from. We found this piece in New Hampshire many years ago. It is in excellent condition with a very old baked on surface. The wood handle is a replacement with some age... probably exactly what would have been there originally. We have never seen another skillet exactly like this example!

19TH OR EARLY 19TH C. WROUGHT IRON BIRD ROASTER
This is a rather unusual hearth cooking device. We found this some years ago in New York State. We mounted this in our hearth by hooking it over a cast iron fire back but I am not certain if that was how this was actually meant to be used. I confess, I have never roasted a bird or anything else on one of these!. The four pronged segment slides back and forth on the arms which terminate in the mounting hooks. At some point in time one of the arms was repeened or restaked through the mounting hook. This side is still a little loose but the roaster works should you decide you would like to try it. This piece measures about 10" wide and about 13" when the tines are not extended.

19TH CENTURY TIN LANTERN
This nice tin lantern retains some of its asphaltum paint. The flat tin bar at the top of the door is signed Parker's Patent 1856 Proctorsville, Vermont. The floor of the lantern must have had either a candle socket or a clip to hold the burner in place because there is a residue of solder remaining there. When I found it, the lantern contained an old tin oil burner, possibly the type that would use whale oil, and that is how it remains. It is otherwise in excellent condition.
