I attended a symposium in Yuma this weekend and visited a local antique mall and found this treasure in a cabinet. This is the second Heintz chamberstick in my collection. I am thrilled.

Fred

very nice. may i ask how much?

try to post some of your heintz trays so i can see some of the variation.

thanks

Don,

I paid the asking price of $20. I was very pleased. It is in pretty good shape with original patina probably removed. I will take images of the trays I have. I plan on posting images of my collection periodically to spark interest and comment.

Here is an image from my resource library of images.

Good work Fred, Nice piece!

Please do post some pictures of your collection - it has been too slow around here!

Here is a try I bought years ago. These trays are such great compositions and they would make a delightful display and collection. I hope one day David Surgan will print a documentation of his collection for all to appreciate.

The chamberstick is awesome! You are so lucky to pick that up for only $20. Congratulations.

I have started looking at metalwork at all the antique shops these days because of this forum. I have learned enough about the patina, style, shop marks of A & C metal work that I sort of know what to buy. So far no treasures, just junk. It now takes me a long, long time to go through an antique store.

I would be thrilled to find something like that. Good work. Please post pictures of more of your collection.

the tray i bought had also been cleaned at some point, so original patina is gone. i paid $85. how does that compare to average price of your trays.

would you want to trade mine for the gingko one? i have a special fondness for gingko stuff. wishfull thinking anyway......

Don,

Not all the images I have posted are mine. Some are from the image reference library I have. The ginko plate is not mine. Sorry. These plates sell anywhere between $60-150.


A recent auction sold a grouping of 8 trays for under $300. They are very collectable and do not take much space.

Here is a small 4"dia Heintz tray in my collection.
