MARIONETTE or PUPPET THEATER, or CABINET for whatever, beautiful figured walnut and walnut burl veneer, rounded corners, looks just like a miniature theater, antique cotton velvet curtain, about 70 years old, very well made, relatively lightweight, overall dimensions 35" wide, 35.5" high, 17" deep, stage opening 23" wide, 20" high, stage depth 15.5", plenty of room above the stage for the puppeteer's hands with access from rear, storage space above the stage with a rear hinged top, velvet feet will not mar and are height adjustable--no wobble, $800

PAIR of QUARTERSAWN OAK CABINETS, from the turn of the 20th century, 15.25" wide, 18.75" deep, 46.5" high, 3 drawers on bottom with solid brass cast filigree handles, one locking drawer (but no key) with steel floral knob handles, 13X16" carved door on top with steel floral knob handles, solid oak except for back, rail and style construction, newly rebuilt and newly refinished in oil with the patina you would expect from these vintage cabinets, Ex+, $1000.

HALL TREE, revolving clothes stand. I bought this at auction. The seller put a sticker on it that said, "J & J Kohn, Austria, ca. 1900." Much of the varnish has worn off of it, especially on the bottom section. The top revolves with just the right amount of resistance. $125.

SCULPTOR'S TABLE, solid oak base, hand wrought hardware, craftsman style construction, splayed legs with cross bracing, mortice and tenon joinery, 27.5" high, 24X24X2" solid maple top, weighs ~80#, top revolves--but not too easily because you want your workpiece to stay put, decades old--from university sculpting laboratory, top is newer, because the top is removable, it may be shipped via UPS. $400. This table is really well built. Sculptors pounded stone on this tabletop; it is designed to support hundreds of pounds. When I got it, the original top was a bunch of oak wood fibers loosely held together because of the pounding and weight it had suffered over the years. The legs, however, are as sturdy as new. I am currently using it in my machine shop. The piece of equipment on it in the 1st photo weighs over 100#; it will support a whole lot more. I now have a 30" diameter maple butcher block tabletop available that you may have in place of the square top. Although, personally, I would prefer the square top with clipped corners--resulting in an 8 sided top to more closely match the base; I'll neatly clip the corners of the square top for you for $50.

HEYWOOD WAKEFIELD ASHCRAFT BAR with 3 bentwood barstools, original finish, some wear, but no serious damage, Heywood Wakefield logo on every piece, 54" long 17.5" deep, 40.5" high, 2 shelves in rear, original formica top, has a very "tropical" look, quite rare, $1000. The bar is presently stored in a small room with stuff stored on top of it. I cannot photograph it where it is, but here is a photograph one of the bar stools.

OAK COLUMN PARTS. Average diameter about 12". I will use them as picture frames for round image photographs one day, if I do not sell them 1st. #1, $50. #2, $50. #3, $100. set of 3, $100.

Even most digital bathroom scales are spring-based and will give you a different reading every time.
