When someone loves building things and has many different interests, you end up with a fascinatingly eclectic auction filled with everything from the unusual to the practical to the flat-out fun.
At our upcoming July 14, 2018 auction in Tabernacle, NJ, you’ll find farm equipment, antique and vintage tools, power tools, trains, tracks and train accessories, an antique Tabernacle Post Office filing cabinet, gas pumps, a fire hydrant, an old stockade (yes, you read that right), a yard jockey, carousel horses and more…even a custom-built calliope!
John Deere is a name synonymous with reliability, and the John Deere backhoe at this auction is a prime workhorse. We’ve also got a great Ferguson tractor and an International Harvester Cub Tractor—if you’re looking for farm equipment, this is auction is the place to be. Add to the list a heavy duty winch, heavy duty chain hoist, flail mower, and a corn crib-style storage building. And that’s just for starters.
Whether you like vintage and antique tools as collectibles or because you prefer working old-school, we’ve got dozens of them, as well as power tools, saws, drill presses, sanders, tool boxes, jack stands and much more.
Where else will you find a custom-built calliope up for auction? This beauty has a Wurlitzer organ, the company that made huge theater pipe organs and, in its heyday in 1926, Wurlitzer was shipping out an organ per day—it was considered one of the most “technologically advanced machines of its time” (Smithsonian.com). Bid on this amazing calliope complete with Wurlitzer organ, and you can throw your own parade!
And talk about kitschy cool—we have 3 carousel horses that would make great conversation pieces for your home or commercial business! How about an honest-to-goodness classic American Darling fire hydrant? Did you know there are trendy hydrant-inspired home furnishings? Lamps, table bases, and stool bases are among the ways to repurpose and upcycle old hydrants into functional furniture.
Petroliana collectors, here are the ultimate collectibles—vintage gas pumps! One is a clean Esso Extra pump, the other needs some care.
This only scratches the surface of what you’ll find at this unique sale. Auction starts at 10AM on Saturday, July 14 and should be over by 1:00PM. Get there early for preview!
