Appreciate the concern, but the madness may have already taken hold of me.
Having always been intrigued with 1880-1920 era mechanical antiques, I have acquired an Oliver No. 3 circa 1905. These are visually quite...
Yes, quite a special song. This era had a lot of honesty in music ~ this album is noteworthy for many reasons . . four working class guys put down...
Beautiful lamp. That 1st album is a true document - have a copy signed by all four.
Most impressions will be subjective - I will say the stretcher frame is a decent quality.
Yours a 'Beehive' style as these Gothic arched were known as. The rippled case was a brief thing and costlier to do, hence pretty scarce. Other...

Yes, popular in the 50's -60's. A magnet test should indicate it's mostly steel, set aside the table portion ? Noticed there was a flurry of...
Mine has a bit more finesse. Person I got this one from felt it is Guatemalan. [ATTACH]
The base looks like poplar wood . . . and the dark stain on a Jacobean design influence makes me think it's more 1900-1920's.
Those early machine made drawer joints were pretty short lived - they were more expensive to produce and a bit tricky to fit up precisely compared...
