Auction of 2000 Pre 1880 Patent Models Heads to New York
More than two thousand patent models from before 1880 will be sold at auction by Rundle Gilbert in New York from April 26 to 29. The items form part of a 250 000 model collection acquired by a syndicate led by Gilbert, originally bought from the government in 1925 by Sir Henry Wellcome. Highlights include the first doll’s head with a patent, early washing machines, John Mason’s fruit jar patent, dozens of locks and burglar alarms, an early extension fire escape, and machinery for making paper bags that produce small bags. The collection has drawn interest from state historical societies seeking to preserve inventors’ work. Congress authorized sale of the models in 1925, with many pieces distributed to museums. Wellcome had hoped to place them in a museum, but died before doing so.
