This is a very rare survivor as it is a JUNIOR Penny Farthing Type HIGH WHEELER. It’s not a little bike – just not the huge size generally thought of in this style. The front wheel is 36 inches tall so it’s about 3/5ths size. Seat has been recovered with black leather. The bike was repainted long ago with Black Lacquer. Not sure of date of manufacture but castings and parts look to be late 19th century. Cab Rubber Tires and Cone’s instead of bearings indicate the age. This bike takes some skill at first to get up and going but the bike works fine. It’s up to you. Use it in your act or decorate your loft or business space. It’s Cool and priced for you. Not sure of the brand as the badge was removed for painting over 30 years ago, then misplaced. This bike hung on the wall of a bicycle shop for over 45 years. Now it’s time to have a new owner. I have many more photos but can’t seem to add more. Message me and I’ll send more.

Here’s a very rare deep amethyst or purple early hand blown glass huge demijohn bottle with its original wicker covering. I’m guessing it holds 3 gallons, but I’m not sure. We cut the bottom half of the wicker so that we could show the beautiful purple color of the glass. The wicker bottom can be put back in place so that the demijohn can be displayed with or without it. This fantastic big kidney shaped demijohn was used in the 1800s to hold wine, home brew liquors or water. It is hand blown in mold, bimal….. Applied big tapered collar…… 17 1/2″tall x about 14″across widest point….. Beautiful amethyst or purple color…… Excellent condition with no chips, cracks or damage of any kind. Some old content stain inside which would clean out, but we are leaving it as found. The wicker covering has a pair of handles which are real nice. Like I said, we cut the wicker above the handles so that it could be removed, but it can be put back in place. Other than that, the wicker covering is in good condition… Tight around the neck and bottom. We guarantee this awesome hand blown demijohn is authentic antique from the 1800s….. Very hard to find in this amazing amethyst color! THIS IS A FIXED PRICE BOTTLE FOR SALE IN MY STORE. Unless you contact me first. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Thank you for your business…. Your friendly fellow collector, Digger Dave Beeler. We stand proudly in support of our military men and women and their families. The beautiful amethyst or purple color of this glass is a result of the presence of manganese in the glass, which was a decolorizer to turn the glass clear. Glass that contains manganese, when exposed to ultraviolet rays of the sun or other sources of UV rays, causes the glass to turn amethyst. Some of my amethyst bottles and glass are purpled from years of exposure to natural sunlight. Others have been purpled with the use of strong UV lights in a boxand some have been purpled by running them through a water sterilization plant, which is a safe and permanent process which does the same thing as many years of exposure to natural sunlight, except much faster. To those “purists” who falsely believe that glass cannot turn this deep amethyst color naturally, I could take you to places where bottles and glass have turned this same shade of purple from being in the sunlight for many years.
