ENTATIVE AUCTION SCHEDUL
(Continued from Page 822)
known, one, a woman, Mary P.
Carpenter was a prolific inven
tor in the 1870 s. She created
items to improve women’s
tasks. Among her patents were
a straw-sewing machine (for
sewing straw braid), an ironing
and fluting machine, an im
proved mop ringer and a but
ton and netting canopy for
beds.
Models were built by inven
tors or by professional model
makers, using drawings or
specifications.
Not every model was manu
factured or sold. Just because a
patent was granted didn’t mean
it was successful. Many were
actually impractical and didn’t
even work.

Antique Detective
Fires in 1836 and 1877 de
stroyed thousands of the mod
els.
Some of the patent model in
ventions have contemporary
applications found in today’s
spas. One, “Improvement in
Electric and Vapor chairs” pat
ented in September 26, 1871 by
Mary A. Hayward, was a pre
cursor to our vaporizers. The
purpose of the chair was to
“apply to the human body, or
portions thereof, vapors for
opening the pores of the skin,
and also to bring liquids into
contact with the skin for med
ical purposes.”
Rufus Porter (1792-1884)
best known as a traveling folk
artist was also a serious inven
tor. Among his inventions, a
fire alarm, a revolving rifle, and
an ice-making machine.

Lancaster Farming, Saturday, July 12, 2003-823
His Patent Model for a fire
alarm, displayed in the Hagley
Museum, has a colorful illustra
tion of a house on fire and his
signature. It is called “The Sen
sitive Fire Alarm” and is a fore
runner to our home fire detec
tors.
Some are downright humor
ous. One, a cattle pump, would
allow cattle to pump their own
water by standing on a plat
form. By the use of cords and
pulleys the weight of the animal
would bear down on the plung
er. Presto! Water!
CLUES: There are many
models as yet undiscovered. It
is possible to come across one at
an estate sale or even a shop.
Not everybody recognizes them
or appreciates these examples
of American ingenuity.

Antiques Questions
And Answers
My United Clock Co. electric clock is in the
form of a fireplace. The logs rotate to give the ef
fect of a burning fireplace. Does it have any
value? It works.
Novelty clocks such as yours, were made by
many Companies in the 19205 , 30s. Similar
clocks can sell from $l5O/$2OO in shops.
This glass vase came from Italy in the 19405. It
has a hole in the bottom, possibly as a lamp base.
Anything you can tell me?

Your Italian Art Glass lamp base could sell
at a Modernism Show for over $2OO.
