    Incredible. You get your house burgled and the Police don't even bother coming out. Someone goes into a house that has been empty for 35 years and about 6 Police cars show up.

    The bedstead was manufactured by Chorlton & Dugdale which was a furniture and bedstead manufacturer which existed from 1876-1891 and were based in Manchester and London. The Excelsior bedframe was manufactured for invalids (their terminology) with a patented spring design which won many awards. I bet you there's not many of these left on the planet!

    The short wave radio reciever/ transmitter is from the 1930's the contraption by the side is a high frequency Ariel, the pieces on the top of the radio are Fuses for artillery shells,the rocket shaped one is a rarity, honestly a great find.

  • @lyndaa7560
    @lyndaa7560 Год назад +38

    Hi Colin, the cannon plunger is a posser for using when you were doing the weekly washing. I’d help my Gran by filling the tub with hot water, washing powder or a dolly blue then put in the washing & swish the clothes round in the tub, worked really well.

  • @Burnsie8282
    @Burnsie8282 Год назад +51

    Good Evening Colin, the apparatus you weren’t sure about at around 16.52 mins is an old radio set and aerial for it. Your co-explorer is nearly right, the things on the top of the radio are the time fuses from old artillery shells, completely harmless but very cool, I’m sure someone will be able to enlighten you further. Great job as always, love the videos!

    • @amremotewatching
      @amremotewatching Год назад +1

      Yup its s a LW/MW/Shortwave SuperHeterodyne receiver made around 1925-1930 by a UK company called Igranic Electric Ltd. It sported no less than 6 valves! The antenna is some sort of DIY Rhomboid Frame aerial. Given the very approx. dimensions shown, it was likely being used for picking up SW signals in the 3Mhz to 7Mhz bands. It looks like there is no external speaker present as that would normally be attached to the screw-studs on the rightmost side of the front panel. The receiver is ultra rare and probably worth a few bob to collectors on the vintage radio forum! Other than that ..

    Some info on the mattress frame you found.
    The firm of Chorlton & Dugdale was listed in The Furniture Gazette Directory, 1876 & 1877, at 76 Higher Ormond Street, Manchester and 63 Watling Street, London. They advertised their Excelsior patent spring mattress in The Furniture Gazette, 22 January 1876, and continued to advertise in this publication until 1891.

  • @ospreyyy1
    @ospreyyy1 Год назад +11

    I think that is an old radio with an antenna or cat whiskers. You would tweak the whiskers to make the station come in clearer. The metal plunger was used for laundry as an agitator.
    Awesome find! Enjoy your videos!

    Great video, what a find. With all those armchairs in one room I would guess the Lady was a very sociable person and very knowledgeable. The set up of furniture in the lounge room was just like my Dads old place in London years ago. The thing that looked like a plunger was an old fashioned 'Washing Dolly' used inside the tub of boiling water or copper boiler to wash clothes or sheets etc, by plunging it up and down by hand it pushed the water through the material and made it so clean and white long before washing machines were used in the home. Also o vacume cleaner jyst a carpet sweeper, broom and mop. Thank you so much. 💕🇦🇺

  • @danypark3672
    @danypark3672 Год назад +5

    The "plunger" you saw was used in a dolly tub for washing clothes, you would light the boiler under the tub, put your washing in and then use the ponch to squash them down and turn them, rather like the old twin tub agitator, I used to use it in my granny's house in the 50s

    • @sarahstrong7174

  • @ronturner5560
    @ronturner5560 Год назад +6

    Golly Colin, them last few minutes in the house had me sitting on the edge of my seat, so suspenseful and a great video. I see ladies shoes downstairs that you picked up, but the with only a ladder to access the upper level makes me think no lady would climb up there, so maybe the male of the house was spying on the Russian spy organization intercepting their radio signals. Great content, you surpassed yourself with this video and the Police did an excellent job responding to a eagle eyed citizen, this is probably why this old house is still not vandalized.

  • @alasdairvincent6248

    That is a very old radio upstairs. Could do with being given to a museum.

    Hi, Colin!!! Thank you for another great explore! I have my ham radio license, and perhaps that unit in the attic is a ham radio station. The antenna also makes me suspect it is. I’m so happy to see you tonight!! Love from Ft Worth
