Current as of April 11, 2012

TCS now 32 years in service to the antique trade, from the Son of the Founder of Ball and Ball, now still family run, and in 2012 celebrating 80 years providing quality American Made Reproductions for America’s Antiques and Historic Restorations.

My specialty is supplying Original House Builders Hardware, some limited items in Furniture and Cabinet Hardware, Lighting fixtures, Candle to Electric of all types, utensils for kitchen cooking on the open hearth, and a comprehensive collection of Fireplace Equipment from Andirons to Trivets.

Welcome, the page top headings will direct you to the area of your interest, one note about the heading ‘ALL OTHER’ it now shows over 100 items, BOOKS on Antiques, BOOKS on cars—mostly pre 1940, and more.  You never know what might be found in this category.

I have always bought and sold originals of the type that Ball and Ball has reproduced.  Please note, many of these pieces have been repaired. If any have new parts used, they will be noted in the descriptions.  All items of importance show a production year range in the description. Many of the late 1800’s items were continued well into the 1900’s. When I know when it was made, I will list the dates.
