I also have a weakness for them. Here's one I found, 18" tall & over 15 lbs. Ancient pieces are way out of my price range, so I figure have...
One further question; what type of wood is this likely to be, it seems pretty dense like a hardwood with good weight.
It's possible, but I'd be surprised if these have brass bases. The vast majority of this design & era are spelter - but a hands on exam would be...
Thanks. What do you think the age might be on this ?
Want to confirm the ID of this piece. 'Garuda carving from Bali.' 25 inches tall. Guessing it's 50 years old ? The quality seems rather nice on...
Several mentioned the base is wrought iron - not so, it's cast iron. Additionally, most wrought lamps from this era are wrought mild steel, iron...
That oval brass tag was used by Cushman 1946-64. The traditional colonial design is what dominated their production in the late 50's - early 60's.
Those model numbers indicate being introduced 1934 to 1939. Some of these pieces they continued to produce into the 50s. That brass oval name tag...
IMO, it really depends on the wood - pine often absorbs that first coat of paint due to it's open grain, making for a lot of sanding to get it...
If it has a metal tag with a number or a number impressed into the wood on it's under side I can provide date info. The piece looks darker then...
These look to be circa 1960.
You can see what people ask on Ebay, but often it's way to much. Folks looking for Cushman often want the 1930's pieces with quirky design...
Was being mismatched the goal ? Would think one would want an identical pair.
Dial pan has a Patent '76' which is 1876. Clock is very typical of 1875-1900 clocks.
Two of a kind, but not a pair? Walnut 18 inches tall - seem very similar, yet clearly not the same. Look to be ca. 1900.[ATTACH]
Style is basically a octagon (eight side) regulator - It's time only, no chime so, typical of what you'd see in offices, schools. etc. from...
The first number '4' indicates the year 1934 which is the year the piece was introduced. '187' is a Cushman model number. That's a tag Cushman...
Trying to figure what this nice finial is off of ? Size is 7" tall, 5" wide and it weighs 3.5 lbs. The only marking is 'DN 588' on the bottom,...
If you tell me the number on that brass tag, I'll provide some details -
One is 3.5 inches tall - the other 3 inches tall. [ATTACH][ATTACH] [ATTACH]
