	This is a vintage Windmill Style Anemometer that was recovered from a vessel destined to be cut up for scrap at one of our international ship breakers we work with. The polished aluminum propeller has four blades and measures 13 1/2 inches tip to tip. From the ground to the top of the tail it measures 30 inches tall (not counting the control box it is sitting on). From the front tip to the back side of the tail it measures 26 inches. This item is mostly made of polished brass. The base mount is 6 inches wide with 5 mount holes. The prop turns freely and the unit spins 360 degrees on the mount pipe. Rarely will you see one of these items show up with the control box recovered form the ship's bridge. The control box (the green box the anemometer is sitting on) measures 9 1/2 X 19 1/2 inches and is 6 inches thick. The side of the control box has a drawing for the wiring instructions. The control box has two meters to determine the wind speed and the wind direction. The black knob controls the lights on the dials and the silver toggle switch turns the unit on and off. I have no way to tell you if you can hook this item up and make it measure wind speed or direction, but I can tell you it make a great display!

	Item #P4-14
	This is a vintage iron cannon. It measures 19 inches long. The barrel opening measures one inch with the barrel being 2 3/4 inches wide at this same end. The other end of the cannon measures about 3 1/4 inches wide at the widest point. The touch hole connects to the main chamber, so I would say that this is something more than just a display piece. Due to the age of this item, I do not recommend any test fires! The housing of the cannon has some markings, but they do not indicate a makers' name or date. I have been told that this cannon could have been a rail cannon. Meaning that it was somehow attached to the rail of a ship. Some people think it is some sort of signal cannon while others think it really fired a projectile. I am of the opinion that it was some sort of signal cannon, and I date it to be well over 100 years old. Item P4-15 $695.00 Plus Shipping * Click on photo to see additional photos of this item *
	While these wonderful binoculars are not marked or dated they are thought to be WWII German. The base was made by us to provide a means of displaying this very nice historical item. The binoculars measure about 13 inches long. When mounted to the base, the item measures just over 9 inches tall. We have made no effort to restore the painted surface, so as you can see in the attached photos the surface paint has some chipping. The glass lens are undamaged. I do not know the magnification power, but they do still work. The binoculars is shown in the level position, but they do tilt up and down, and will rotate 360 degrees on the display base.

	This is a very nice four draw vintage telescope. The main tubes are made of cardboard with decorated paper. The end pieces are brass. It has two removable end caps (dust covers). The smaller of the two end caps is stamped "US Patent April 16 Germany". Sorry I just can't be 100% sure of the patent date, but it could be 1896 or it could be 1936. The stamping on the cap is near impossible to read. As shown in the photo to the left, it measures 11 1/2 inches. When extended, it measures about 32 inches long. It is really hard to focus, as the stops for the draws are not easily determined due to the design of the pull out draws. As with most telescopes from either 1896 or 1936, you will find wear to the housing but it is complete. $100.00 Plus Shipping Item #P4-21 Click on image to the left to see additional images

	The larger cast iron bell on the left side of the photo is a wall or ceiling mount bell that could have been used on a ship's bridge or on a trolley car. This turn of the century bell is in original working condition. As shown in the photo to the left, it measures 12 inches long with the iron bell being 5 inches wide. Stand back, it make some noise if you pull it hard. No pull cord was found with it, but it is clear it had one attached to the moving arm. Pay close attention to how this bell mounts to your structure as it is not your normal flat wall mount. I am thinking this bell mounted to two support beams with the bell hanging between the support beams, or it has some slightly raised blocks on the two mount points so the bell would clear the back wall. The smaller bell on the right hand side of the photo is also a turn of the century bell came that may have been used on a ship or a trolley. I figure it was designed to be mounted to the ceiling. While this bell looks brass, it is really iron. It is in working order, but I do not consider it to be a loud bell. The bell measures just short of 4 inches wide. $125.00 plus shipping for the larger bell $75.00 plus shipping for the smaller bell Click on image to the left to see additional images Item#P4-30

	Item #P4-14
	This is a vintage iron cannon. It measures 19 inches long. The barrel opening measures one inch with the barrel being 2 3/4 inches wide at this same end. The other end of the cannon measures about 3 1/4 inches wide at the widest point. The touch hole connects to the main chamber, so I would say that this is something more than just a display piece. Due to the age of this item, I do not recommend any test fires! The housing of the cannon has some markings, but they do not indicate a makers' name or date. I have been told that this cannon could have been a rail cannon. Meaning that it was somehow attached to the rail of a ship. Some people think it is some sort of signal cannon while others think it really fired a projectile. I am of the opinion that it was some sort of signal cannon, and I date it to be well over 100 years old. Item P4-15 $695.00 Plus Shipping * Click on photo to see additional photos of this item *
	While these wonderful binoculars are not marked or dated they are thought to be WWII German. The base was made by us to provide a means of displaying this very nice historical item. The binoculars measure about 13 inches long. When mounted to the base, the item measures just over 9 inches tall. We have made no effort to restore the painted surface, so as you can see in the attached photos the surface paint has some chipping. The glass lens are undamaged. I do not know the magnification power, but they do still work. The binoculars is shown in the level position, but they do tilt up and down, and will rotate 360 degrees on the display base.

	This is a very nice four draw vintage telescope. The main tubes are made of cardboard with decorated paper. The end pieces are brass. It has two removable end caps (dust covers). The smaller of the two end caps is stamped "US Patent April 16 Germany". Sorry I just can't be 100% sure of the patent date, but it could be 1896 or it could be 1936. The stamping on the cap is near impossible to read. As shown in the photo to the left, it measures 11 1/2 inches. When extended, it measures about 32 inches long. It is really hard to focus, as the stops for the draws are not easily determined due to the design of the pull out draws. As with most telescopes from either 1896 or 1936, you will find wear to the housing but it is complete. $100.00 Plus Shipping Item #P4-21 Click on image to the left to see additional images

	Here is a piece of history from the Brown Ship Building Company in Houston, Texas.

	The larger cast iron bell on the left side of the photo is a wall or ceiling mount bell that could have been used on a ship's bridge or on a trolley car. This turn of the century bell is in original working condition. As shown in the photo to the left, it measures 12 inches long with the iron bell being 5 inches wide. Stand back, it make some noise if you pull it hard. No pull cord was found with it, but it is clear it had one attached to the moving arm. Pay close attention to how this bell mounts to your structure as it is not your normal flat wall mount. I am thinking this bell mounted to two support beams with the bell hanging between the support beams, or it has some slightly raised blocks on the two mount points so the bell would clear the back wall. The smaller bell on the right hand side of the photo is also a turn of the century bell came that may have been used on a ship or a trolley. I figure it was designed to be mounted to the ceiling. While this bell looks brass, it is really iron. It is in working order, but I do not consider it to be a loud bell. The bell measures just short of 4 inches wide. $125.00 plus shipping for the larger bell $75.00 plus shipping for the smaller bell Click on image to the left to see additional images Item#P4-30
