Question by stup: Where can I find antique dealers dealing in coffee percolators?
I am trying to find a dealers that deals in antique coffee percolators. This is a Maxwell House percolator that has been dated back in the early 1920′s. It is in excellent condition and has the original coffee still encased with in the percolator and none of the seals have been broken. All of the tags are not yellowed or torn. There are no cracks or chips in the percolator. Any more information or any dealers interested will be appreciated.

I went looking for the value of an old percolator and found alot of info on E-bay.
I imagine this one is newer than yours, but it is a Maxwell House percolator with bag of coffee inside and labels on:

I also found some in the completed auctions section of the same kind that did not sell. If yours is older, it might have more selling value, but I would not expect a super high price. It seems only the really fancy antique coffee percolators command really high prices (Manning-Bowman is a favorite–their percolators are often quite nicely styled). Anyway, another path would be to take it to your local antiques dealer and try to get him or her to sell it on consignment. That might take a VERY long time, though, as they are dependent on people actually coming in to look at their stock. I hope this helps!
