Here's a very interesting horn crane as a Buy It Now on eBay - I am not the seller; just passing along a tip. If I didn't already have one of these, it would be sold. This is the first crane sold by the Tea Tray Company (U.S. Patent No.763,096), and it was quickly replaced by the commonly-found models which utilized a similar under-the-cabinet design. This is only the 2nd one of these I've seen, and it appears to be in nice shape...

George P.

there are a few bids on it now. do you recall what the buy it now price was?

As these eBay entries disappear in time and future thread visitors would then not know what the heck we were talking about, here is a picture of the item from the listing.

The original BIN price was $175

George;

I have one of these cranes as well, so now we know of three. I like it because it doesn't hurt the cabinet in any way and can fit a large machine.

It finally went for $256.19. Wish I had recongized it for what it was as scarfed it up at the BIN price. Oh well, water under the proverbial bridge.
