This is a promotional advertising skillet made for Dwight Eisenhower’s 1952 presidential run for president.  This is a VERY rare piece as not a single cast iron collector or any of the presidential collectors we have spoken to have ever seen one.  It appears to have been cast by Martin Stove and Range in Birmingham Alabama based on the design and style.  It looks like it was originally plated with brass and swathes of it remain and what is left is a very cool patina.  This is a special piece for any collector.

Marked : “I Like Ike” on the face of the ashtray

Item 1033
Razor sharp! I.P  Hyde is still in business making painting products and knives for industrial use.  He started out making knives for shoe makers and in fact this knife could have originally been meant for that kind of use.  Today however it will make a very nice slicing knife.  Round handled with round bolster and a hidden tang, secured with a pin in the same fashion as those used in old Japanese swords.

Marked “I. P. Hyde Southbridge, MA made in USA”

Knife has been professionally restored,  polished and sharpened it is RAZOR SHARP.  It may have some nicks and scars from use.

*High carbon steel knives are highly sought after knives loved by professional and home cooks alike due to the quality of the steel, the edge it maintains and the hardness that is not matched by other knives.  If you don’t believe me, take a look the opinions of Alton Brown.  Please note these are NOT stainless steel knives, they do require a little bit of care (prompt washing and drying after use, occasional sharpening, etc), but hey, if you can maintain a cast iron pan you’ll find this a piece of cake.  Over time they will develop a patina, and even stain.  But they are probably the best quality steel knives you’ll ever use.

Item 1032
Razor sharp!  I love Meridian blades – in fact my favorite knife in my kitchen is one of their blades that I’ve had for years and years.   This one is a a reversed angle slicer with an 8”  inch blade, full tang, triple riveted hard wood handles (scales), and a nice polished blade.  Fully restored and ready for use.   Meridian was a Connecticut knife maker who made blades in Meridian, CT from 1855 to 1916, at which point they were purchased by Landers, Frary and Clark who used that name until 1924.

Marked “Meridian Cutlery Co USA”

Not iron, or even cooking related but something interesting that turned up in our inventory.  This is old dime and pennies coin counter, presumably for rolling coins.  Not quite sure how it was used as it’s not marked, but I suspect it was a commercial piece that mounted in a till for counting out coins.  Glass tube, bottom plug and funnel in great shape.

Marked: “Abbott Coin Counter Co. Pat’D May 7, 12”

~7” long

Sold as found.

$25 shipped (get $5 rebate when purchased with another larger piece that includes shipping).

Item 1813

Lightly cleaned.  Sold as found.  Could be used right away.

Alaska Ice Breaker – ice crusher made by Alaska Freezer Co  Art Deco – Mid century modern era.  This is a tabletop model I imagine would have been on someone’s home bar back in the day.  Just drop in some ice cubes turn the crank and voila!  crushed ice.  The company that made these existed from the 1920s to the 1950s so the styling is somewhere between art deco and Midcentury modern.  This one doesn’t need much work at all.  Plated iron and what appears to be an enameled steel base.

Marked:  “Alaska Ice Breaker model  38 – then has the parts numbers on each part  50CB3,  38CB2, 38CB1 (which presumably is the model number then Crusher Base 1-2-3 and the then the handle) which is marked 2.38A8.
