Weighs less than 10 pounds. This is not something we made up to look real, it is the real deal. This items has some wear and the white marks on the front are paint and will not clean off.

This is an original Life Boat Station Bell. When you heard this bell ringing, it was not going to be a good day. The item is made of cast aluminum. It was painted grey when we found it, so we removed the paint and polished the aluminum surface to make it a great looking display piece. It measures 10 1/2 inches tall and about 5 inches wide. It weighs 4 1/2 pounds. Looks like the tag indicates it works on 220 volts of power. We have not tested it to see if it works.

This is a vintage flair gun. I see no makers' name, but it is marked "M601" on the hammer, and the side of the barrel is marked "80168". This gun looks to be fully functional, but I have not fired it. The barrel is 3 1/2 inches long and looks to be about 1 1/16 inches wide (inside edge to inside edge). This item is being sold as found with some surface rust and in general needing some cleaning. Great display or possible use piece. Total length is 7 1/2 inches and it weighs just about 1 1/2 pounds. I see no repairs or broken parts.

This is a WWI Era German or Astro-Hungarian Hebel Flare Launcher. It measures 14 inches long. If you push the lever just below the trigger it allows the barrel to flip open to load a shell. No, I have never fired it with a live round. I have dry fired it and everything works with no problems. The inside of the barrel is just over one inch wide. The wood handle has a little wear as you can see in the attached photos. Once side of the gun is marked FL7772, and the other side has some makers' stamps. Check out the additional photos of this item by clicking your mouse on the photo to the left. I see no repairs or broken parts.

This is a great vintage wooden propeller. Unknown maker. Hub side is marked "5737  72 L X L 38". From end to end it measures 6 feet long with the hub being 9 inches wide and 4 inches thick. Given the minor damage on one of the leading edge surfaces that has started to crack, this is a no fly prop. This item is being sold as a display piece and should not be considered for use unless properly inspected and certified for your specific use. I would say it is unlikely this propeller would ever pass certification for use.

Mount it on the the ceiling or wall, it will be a great conversation piece!

This is one of the largest functional fog horns you are going to find. Not sure of the range, but I think it most be close to 5 miles at 100 PSI. It measures just over 6 feet long with the opening on the widest end being 35 inches. The main housing of the horn is iron, and the control valve is cast brass. The brass valve is 9 1/2 inches wide on the top. The blue connection line is part of our shop equipment for testing toys, so it is not part of the sale. The air supply on the horn is a standard 1/2 pipe thread. We made the horn function with as much as 100 PSI, and as little as 75 PSI. You need a reserve air tank because it takes air flow to make it work real well. This item is located in Felton, Delaware. You can do local pickup, or we can crate and ship. Shipping this item to main land US locations only.

This has got to be one of the best toys a true nautical lover could ever have. It is a Fog Horn made by the Tokyo Siren Company, and they were normally found on Life Boats. They were placed on the Life Boats and used as a device to alert passing vessels of the location of a deployed Life Boat. At 33 cranks per minute the noise can be heard 1.5 miles away. You can operate it two different ways. I like to press down on the red ball and then turn the handle. This process allows you to hear the siren in what I call the windup mode. The other way to operate it is the turn the handle very fast, and then push down on the red ball. Doing it this way gives you the noise all at once. Either way, you can let up on the red ball and then press it down and the noise starts and stops on this action.

No box with this one.

Yes, I have tested (played) with it, and it is fully functional!

This is a large steam whistle that measure 31 inches tall and about 7 inches wide. It is all brass and weights 88 pounds. The arm moves freely. As you can see in the photo to the left, it has a dent in the upper housing. The bottom bell measures about 7 inches wide and is marked "SALCO NEW YORK". I have no way to test this whistle, but see no reason it will not work if you have the air supply to operate.

Item #P5-22

You are looking at one of two matching brass portholes that look like they were cut out right of a wooden vessel with a chain saw. I though long and hard about removing the wood, but in the end I thought the remains of the wooded vessel added to the neatness of the piece.  The wood remains are about 18 X 20 inches. The side with the wing nut closures measures 17 inches at the widest point. The opening window door measures 13 inches wide with the glass being 10 1/4 inches wide. Both wing nut lugs work freely. On the back side of this porthole, the ring measures just over 15 inches wide and has 6 mount holes. The inside of the window hole measures 12 inches wide. The total thickness of this porthole measures something like 6 inches, but only 3 inches if you do not count the wing nut and the threaded shaft it spins on. As show, each window will weigh around 44 pounds. If the wood was removed, I would estimate the weight to be 38 pounds. No makers' mark found, but it could be marked on the back side of the front mount plate.

Are you looking for an un-restored original porthole? Have a look at this monster! This porthole weighs 58 pounds. The hatch cover is iron and the rest of it is cast brass. It was missing the four brass wing nuts when I found it, but we have located new brass wing nuts and cleaned the threaded post so they move freely. Now all you have to do is clean and polish, or display it as you see it. The outside ring on the back side measures 18 1/4 inches wide and has 11 mount holes. The glass measures 12 inches wide and has no cracks, but will require some cleaning. The glass has some minor pitting. The pin that allows the window to pivot is missing, but that is easy to correct.

**SUPER RARE LIBERTY SHIP FUEL AND WATER PORTHOLE"  This is the first one of these I have ever owned. They were designed to act like a port hole, but they do not have the glass window in them. They were designed to open and allow fuel or water lines to enter the vessel, and then to have a secure means of closing. This all brass port hole weights 45 pounds. The front hatch cover measures 13 1/2 inches wide. The back side hole measures 11 1/2 inches wide. At the widest point, it measures 10 inches thick. The three closure dogs move freely and the door opens and closes with no issues. Now, what would you do with an odd looking porthole like this? Ever thought about having a shadow box built into the wall made from a porthole? This would also make a great functional pass threw hole near the water line of a vessel, as it remains water tight and functional. Let's not forget, it is a great historical display piece also!
