Here's a conversion I made today from an antique store find - a beautiful mahogany candle stick. Wish I could take credit for anything but the dowel ;-) -

Ah, I had seen references to that machine, but it didn't click with me that it was smaller. What size letters does yours make? -

Just won this guy in an eBay auction. The seller did not know what it was for - it was poorly listed as a scrap booking tool. Sorry if any of you were on the losing end. If it's any consolation, you were not beat by a robot - I always log in for the last few minutes and take over the bidding... -

Hatters & hat scholars, what is this item called, and what was it used for specifically? I've seen them in old ads with photos of various hatter's tools & also in collections of hatter's tools, but other than the obvious clipping function, I am at a loss... -

Great Shoe Shine Stands across the nation
Mine is at home, but I grabbed this image from a web page. I do not remember the brand, but there were several in this configuration on eBay when I looked. I found mine in a thrift store, and it's missing the bracket, so I haven't used it yet.- John Galt

There are ads in The American Hatter too - I will dig around & find some this weekend. I was thinking, though, that it would be neat to see a more modern catalogue. I'll search around ;-) -

Good idea. I like that stand. I may build one like it. I have a brace that is made to mount to a wall for self-shining. Frankly, unless they have a vise/clamp (I've never seen one), I don't know what good the shoe rest on a shine box is for doing your own shoes.- John Galt

Here's the shine stand I use most. I bought it a few years ago for $15.00, full of polish, toothbrushes, shoe brushes, and a screwdriver. When it comes to shoe polish, brushes, etc., it is often cheaper to buy one of these boxes than some polish, a shoe brush or two. I have another...- John Galt

Yep. Apparently, this was called the New Eureka cordless electric iron because in 1906, this guy came out - the original Eureka electric sad iron. I know, there are two different cord configurations, but both drawings were taken from (two different) 1906 magazines, I believe, and the... -
