What a sweet conversation piece! Large Root's Honey Extractor

Here is an unusual find! Large metal barrel has two wire trays that hold honeycombs and the gears and handle on top spin the wire baskets to release the honey out of the honey combs. This is very big! Almost four feet tall and the barrel has a diameter of 24 inches. This would make such a great restaurant display piece! The blue paint is original and this reads NO 17 Root's Automatic Extractor. SOLD!

Bee box with honeycomb trays

I was told this box was used to introduce new bees
to the colony. Not sure if that is correct, but that is information I was given. This box has a removeable lid, a rack to hold the honeycomb trays, and a metal door on front which spins around and has different size openings. SOLD!

Set of stacking bee boxes

This is in four pieces. I have seen them attached together permanently to make a neat side table. This consists of three sections filled with honeycomb trays and a galvanized lid attached to wood. This set measures 20 by 16 by 21 inches tall and the lid itself is 24 by 19 inches. Sold!

Kelley's Smoke Cloud Bee Smoker

Looks like it was never used. Made in Kentucky, USA! SOLD!

Vintage bee keepers hat with netting

I have always loved these old bee keeper's hats, but this is the first time I have had one to sell! SOLD!

Wonderful Glenwood Oak Ice Box

This is in wonderful original condition. Galvanized lining in both upper and lower sections. It was suggested that this would be great for a party, just fill with ice block and keep your beverages chilled! One hinge is broken on top lid but they do sell replacement parts for these. I looked online and easily found a source. This beauty measures 30 by 19-1/2 and stands 42 inches tall.

Table talk Pie box

Display

 box for table talk pies. Missing one of the shelves, but still a wonderful display with graphics on side. One board is also missing from back. This measures 22-1/2 by 11 and stands 23 inches tall. Sold!

A pile of crates and one really cool drawer!

The two bottom crates have nice finger joins on corners. Very cool drawer that looks like it has a box within it, and the box slides out separate from the drawer. Didn't measure these but the bottom crates are on the large side. Drawer is sold!

Another of Lyn's pieces, this is painted a very pale soft pink and has words painted across the top. Not sure of her technique here, but she sure had a way with paint! This pretty table measures 29 by 29 at top and stands 29-1/2 inches tall.
