mroenigk@aol.com Important Art Deco Art Glass Windows. Set of three large high Art Deco windows from a bank building in New Mexico. These are fabulous “high” Art Deco design, obviously custom made for this bank, believed to be from the 1920’s or 1930’s. Fine condition. One window (photos) has be reframed in a very expensive art deco frame, the other two are as they came out of the building (you can have the other two reframed, it cost us about $3000 for the custom frame for the first window, done by a metal sculptor here in Eureka Springs). Window is 36” wide, 62” high, frame is 40” wide, 66 Ľ” high, 2” deep. The photos do not do justice to the window because of the lack of lighting behind it when the photos were taken. Truly an extraordinary set. $15,000 for the set of three. “Premier Jr.” Nickel Plated Cash Register Made By Michigan Cash Register Co. Probably circa 1905 – 1910. Very nice all original condition. $800.
Early Brass Recording Telegraph Machine. Beautiful large all brass recording telegraph machine. Complete with wheel for paper inside drawer below. Made by Siemens Brothers & Co., London, #24079. PRICE REDUCED TO $1150 Original Carousel Chariot, Heavily Carved. We purchased this carousel chariot back in the 1980’s from Norton in Michigan, for our own collection, because the theme was so delightful and the carving so great. We felt that chariots represented the most “displayable” of carousel carvings because they can be disassembled and the carved side can be hung on a wall. I don’t recall the maker of the chariot, we once knew, but it is one of the top five carousel carving companies. $5,500 OZ-78 Four Modern Xylophones. Two “marching” xylophones on metal harp frames, one in a suitcase, one set of barbells from Player Piano Supply. Presumably bought to make automatic xylophones to add to pianos or organs. $400 for the four as a lot.
