14 years ago, my mother-in-law came to live with us. Recently widowed, she left her house as it was, came to Oregon and said she was never going back home. We told her we would pack her house up, pack EVERYTHING, and bring here for her to sort through at her pleasure.  Her house was much like a museum, she was an avid and well known antique dealer and collector in Los Angeles in the mid to later 1900's.  We moved over 700 boxes of items from her house, along with many pieces of furniture. 1 of her pieces has been on the Antique Road Show.    I built a 7000 sq. foot building to accommodate all her collections. She never opened a box. She died about 6 years ago, and we have just begun the process of going through the boxes ourselves.  It is an arduous process. Some items will go to concession dealers, some are given away, some things donated, some are kept and some things are offered here.   I used to write a bit of the history at the beginning of each ad, I have decided to write this, and when a bit of provenance fits, I will include this introduction. These items were collected many years ago by a very sweet and knowledgeable lady. Wish she was here to tell me about each item we offer, but, I am on my own, and will do my best to describe. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   This is a very nice vintage compressor. It has been restored and serviced. Works great. Quiet and smooth. The only thing I did not restore is the decal on the motor. I wanted to, but hard to find these vintage decals...  as you can see, I left the old one on rather than remove and paint over it. At some point I wanted to reproduce it and wanted what I had as a reference.   The model is BINKS CP 1/4.  The compressor has been meticulously cleaned inside and out. The piston and ring serviced and look fine. The color scheme is a bit different than original, I wanted a compressor that looked better than the original. When I started the restoration, the color of the compressor was a guess. It had over spray on it a few layers deep. The original color could be seen under what was left of the decal and I matched that for the main body of the unit.   The compressor runs quiet and smooth. I am also listing a W. R. Brown Speedy compressor today as well, should you like to look at it.   -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  Shipping is for USA lower 48, all other addresses will be calculated. Because I am a returning seller to Ebay, your feedback is important to establish trust with future buyers. I would very much appreciate pos. feedback once you receive the item and are satisfied with your purchase. I will reciprocate in kind. Thanks. I started selling on Ebay when Ebay was new to the world, and was a great place to offer unique items to a broad audience. Then, the monster of greed came, and Ebay transformed into something I disliked, a lot. I quit selling using Ebay. I was a gold seller, I had 1000's of great feedbacks, a couple of negs ( I have learned some people are impossible to please).    Now, I still have a 7000 sq. ft. building, filled with 100's of mystery boxes inherited from an avid antique dealer who had a great eye. SOOO, here  I am again, and just relearning the "new" Ebay. The fees have risen (Ebay even takes a precentage of shipping charges!), and the marketplace has changed, but, it still offers a larger audience than I can find elsewhere. Never know what is in the next box!
