Auction to send Alan to Ish!

The Metal Worker a weekly journal of the roofing ,cornice,tin plumbing and heating trades.

this is an 84 page weekly full of great adverts, diagrams on range heating , lots of steam pics lots of great articles!

It is in good condition except that the cover is separting from the interior pages.

Common flameheads I rememember when Alan first brought us Oil Tech Talk in 98 and then the wholesalers couldn't tell us any more "you are the only one that's having a problem"!

I'll let Dan run this auction. He will send me an email when he has the money . I will send the magazine , insured.

Lets start at $40.00

All the best

Thanks, Chad.

Anyone like to top that? These old magazines are gorgeous. Puts a lot into perspective, and they're rare, especially from that era.

Thanks for showing Alan the love. ;-)

Provenance

I did some work for an old timer (85 or so) 17 years ago in Winterport Maine. He gave me a few of these " so that I would know how far the trade has come".

I still have em. i did give one to my mentor and one to a close friend that runs an original range stove and boiler in his house.

All the best

Yep,

I'm going to buy Alan a big German beer as soon as we get off the plane. Beer - It isn't just for breakfast anymore.

Chad_6

OK...I'll bump my bid to $75.00. I really had my heart on this:)


Chad

How long is this book up on the auction block for?

Robert O'Connor

\"European Heating Boilers\"

A great article on Euro Boilers of 1902 is on page 44 and 45. Lots of good illustrations!

\" The Letter Box\"

Has a letter from a " furnaceman " who doesn't trust the manufacturers ratings of furnaces as he compares the duct sizing reccomended to the rating.

He goes on to say that " they will send a man down to figure the job for you..... and if you are an old timer you will soon find out you don't know anything. It seems that it will be but a short time before a boy to learn this trade will have to be a college graduate."

DanHolohan

Chad's got the high bid

at $75.

Anyone top that?

Chad_6

off to work

I hope I don't miss out on the end of this auction..I have no internet access during the day at work. Most auctions have some sort of end time? Any Idea?

Thanks for the auction!

Chad

DanHolohan

We'll wait.

Thanks, Chad.

Chad_6

Thanks

I'm back

Thanks Dan...

Chad_6

Hello Dan

How long do we wait for an answer on when the auction end time...I'm trying to be patient but there must be some rules here? Please:)

Going crazy waiting
Chad

Chad_6

did your computer

freeze up:)

Comon' Mr Dan..pound the gavel! I won't sleep til I know it's over...

Dan's the man, if he can't do it no one can!

Should I get the payment ready:)

Chad

Jeff Lawrence_25

Do I make the Check

for $100.00 for the book out to you, Dan?

Jeff

Chad_6

Not enough

110.00 from Chad

DanHolohan

Going!

Chad_6

this was fun

and gave me someting to think about all day at work..who do I make the payment to?

Thanks Dan

Chad

Chad_6

Didja'

Fall asleep my friend:) Your wife is calling for you, better drop that gavel:)

Chad

Chad_6

I think Jeff's

Piggy bank is empty:) So you might as well give it up now


Thanks again

Chad

DanHolohan

Once again

Going . . .

Chad_6

I'm thinking

A yearly subscription for the issue was less then a buck..and that included postage (or was there postage back than)

110 dollars for one issue is a really good profit:)

Chad

Chad_6

Win or loose

I would like to thank Mr O'Connor for making this possibel and lets not forget the cause...

Chad

DanHolohan

I have an idea.

I also have a very early copy of The Metal Worker. How about if both you and Jeff win?

Robert sends his copy to you, and I send my copy to Jeff.

Deal, guys?

Bless you both for appreciating our friend, Alan.

Chad_6

Yes..I'll take the one

from Robert and the money will be on the way tomorrow or friday! It's a deal:)

The pleasure was all mine!

thanks for inviting us.

Chad

Jeff Lawrence_25

for the hundred dollars?

Sure.

I had some stuff to do. (eat, shower, billing, etc.)

DanHolohan

Thanks.

Please make the check out to Dan Holohan, and send it to 63 N. Oakdale Ave., Bethpage, NY 11714. I'm gathering all the money for this.

Chad_6

You got it..it will more than likely be a money order? Is this OK

Chad

DanHolohan

Thanks, pal.

The magazine is on its way. You know where to send the check.

Chad_6

OK..I lied

Dan, your wife wasn't calling for you, I made that up:)

Good night all

Chad
