Decorative cast stone pillars (23 Available) £15 Each £300 The Lot(£13.05)

Sellers Comments - These are very good quality moulded stone / cast pillars. They are very well made and classically shaped and do not have any moulding marks that are found on cheapo products. Bath stone colour. I think they may be spun manufacture. Although these are all UNUSED these are quite old and have sat outside for a few years so they are very nicely patinated plus some lichen and moss in places. They are very heavy - about 30 kg each. I have 23 of these and I would prefer to sell in one lot. There are one or with two slight chips from storage / handling. I will not go below my starting price which is £15.00 EACH or £300 for the lot. Will require to be collected from Worcester.

Denmark: Copenhagen auctions 7,000 retro street lamps - To The General Public



Copenhagen city council is auctioning off 7,000 of the city's old street lamps to the general public.

The street lamps hanging above a Copenhagen street

The council is replacing almost half of its street lighting as part of an energy-saving drive, including all of the iconic dome-shaped "Copenhagen lamps", the DR.dk news website reports. They were designed by the municipal architect's office in 1977, and restored versions have now become fashionable as indoor lighting in private homes. "It's a piece of Copenhagen's history that's being put up for sale for people's enjoyment," council official Steffen Rasmussen tells the website.

The council says some of the lamps will be given to charity
Auction house Lauritz.com notes that the lamps do show some signs of wear and tear - perhaps inevitable after decades spent weathering the Scandinavian seasons. And owning a piece of urban history isn't cheap; the auctioneers estimate that each one is worth 200 euros ($220; £143). But the company's CEO Mette Rode Sunstrom says they "really hit the spot" in terms of Danish interior design trends. "It's becoming important to make things personal and unique with finds from different time periods and styles," she says.
About 20,000 street lights are being replaced in total across the Danish capital, which the council says will lead to energy savings of 57% by 2016. Copenhagen is hoping to become the world's first carbon neutral capital city by the year 2025.

Custom vintage Triang pedal car , ideal showroom display piece




I have decided to sell a couple of my pedal cars to make way for a possible new purchase.

This one is a nicely customised Traing pedal car in a rather vibrant orange colour with new wheels and a new padded seat to finish the job off. The paintwork is not showroom standard but certainly gets people talking and would look good in any collection.

The pedal car is currently in Penrhyn Bay near Llandudno but I can get in to Manchester by arrangement if that is easier for some people. I strongly recommend looking at this item before buying to avoid any misunderstandings .

This item is pick up only !  cash on collection please

1930's VINTAGE PEDAL CAR MAGNA N°8 MG F TOURING by TRIANG LINES BROS TRI-ANG


1930s-VINTAGE-PEDAL-CAR-MAGNA-N-8-MG-F-TOURING-by-TRIANG-LINES-BROS-TRI-ANG


for sale:

This is an vintage 1930's TRI-ANG MAGNA No 8 pedal car racer in very good and almost 100% original unrestored condition.

The car has been stored for years in a  personal collection / private car museum, hence the almost perfect original condition.

As far as I can see, the only parts that looks replaced are the four tires and the license plates.

According to a 1930's advertisement I found, the tires should be dunlop cord balloon tires (as on the J40), only the spare tyre is still an original dunlop cord tyre.
The 4 others have been replaced by Vredestein tyres.

The license plates are vintage "DIY made" plates,  that are on the car for years, and their patina matches the rest of this lovely pedal car.

The rest of the car is (IMO) 100% original.

Wooden body has some knocks and some playwear, paint looks original to me.

The black tonneau cover + seat upholstery has a lot of cracks (dried out) plus has a few tears BUT it's the original leather !

Mechanics are more then ok, everything (pedals, steering wheel, brake, windshield, horn) works fine.

Metal fenders have some knocks, but nothing that detracts the beauty of this car.

The small lights on the front fenders, seem to have contact-screws for electric wiring , but no wires are installed/included.

Hood ornament is damaged, normally should be an extra ring (loop) on top (looks restorable to me by someone with the right tools/knowledge)

Bonus is the original (optional) horn / bell and and little triangle sign on the rear fender with "4 wheel brakes".

SIZE: 145 cm long, 65 cm width, highest point (steering wheel) 55 cm.  (47 inch x 25 inch x 21 inch)


Have a good look at the pictures, what you see is what you get.


The BIN in 1930 was 5£ 5c in 2015 there's no BIN, it will sell at highest bidder.



ABOUT PAYMENT AND SHIPPING / PICK UP.

I live in Belgium , nearby Leuven. I would prefer a local pick up , so that the car doesn't get damaged during transport.

The pick up can be arranged in Leuven (hometown) or in Ostend (holiday house).

If really needed , pedal car can be shipped l, but it that case I will have to make a crate and check out a few shipping companies for a price quote.
(i would estimate this in a price range of 200-300£, since it's heavy and bid.) Also in that case i'm not reliable for damage or loss.

This is a super rare and valuable pedal car, so I guess if you really want it to arrived sound and save, a local pick up is the most logical choice.

I am not in a hurry, so if you win you don't have to be here in hours/days for an immediate pick up.

In case you want me the store car for a few days/weeks, I'll be asking a small deposit to make sure that the your are committed to buy.

Payment can be made on pick up (Pounds or euros). Sorry no Paypal.


Any questions mail me.


Probably a once in a life time opportunity to get your hands on this super rare UNRESTORED pedal car.
Good luck with the bids.

Basic design and features of the Godin stove brand include cast iron molded fronts with the addition of enamel on some models.

As manufacturing practices improved, thus improving the quality of the design aesthetic quality of raw material and general fuel consumption practices, so did the look and variety of Godin cast iron stoves.

Victorian Cast Iron Coalbrookdale Ceiling Rose 1869




Description

This is a very ornate original Victorian ceiling rose which dates from 1869.

Due to the high quality of the piece, it is believed to be manufactured by the world renowned Coalbrookdale foundry.  Many items manufactured by the foundry do not carry its mark, however the exceptional high quality of the cast strongly points towards Coalbrookdale as the casting foundry.

The rose has 12 fixing holes that have been cast on the periphery of the item, as well as two larger anchoring holes at the centre.

The diameter of the rose is 101 cm.

 It has a classical acanthus leaf and foliage design that provides a very elegant feel to the piece.  The superior casting is very pronounced and reaches into the room and does not lie flat like other contemporary examples.

When placed into a room the eye is naturally drawn to the piece and is an essential for any superior period home.
