Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:145705 | Material: Cast Iron, Wood |
| Region of Origin: America | Height: 15" |
| Color: Brown |
Original Lineberry brand factory cart from N. Wilkesboro, NC. I believe this one came out of a local furniture factory in NC. This has been well restored, but left some patina. Highlights of the process:
• All parts disassembled, 100%
• Top boards repaired, re-glued and hand planed for flatness (as much as possible) from the bottom, this helps to make this a usable piece of furniture. All wood is original!
• Old glue, pa...int and who knows what else is scraped and sanded from wood to reveal the beautiful grain. Two coats of shellac, one coat of General Finishes American Oak oil based Gel Stain, three coats of General Finishes Arm-R-Seal oil based Urethane Satin Top Coat. This process gives the wood a very nice warm hue with a tint of amber. Very durable
• All cast iron and metal parts are thoroughly cleaned, blasted and wire brushed. Then treated with 2-3 coats of Dupli-Color rust converter. This gives the iron a very natural look while protecting it.
• This unit has all the original hardware, except the nuts and bolts
General Information about this piece:
• This is a later model having the larger wheel hubs and bearing races in them. The bearings were shot and were replaced with bronze bushings to level the unit. They are not as tight as the original bearings were, but perfectly fine for a furniture piece.
• Being a later model the original nuts were hex, not square so replacing them with something that was period correct is acceptable
• The small wheel vertical axel housings have been tapped and a threaded set screw installed. This allows you to level and set the screws once installed in your home. A nice feature not every restorer takes time to do.
• I have included and mixed in some of the before pictures and in-process pictures to show some of the detail as described above.
• These are a lot of work, I don’t restore these to make money, I do it because I love it!
• This is a very heavy piece of furniture and will look great in your home. There are others for sale on eBay, but none as nice as this for the asking price.
• I will deliver within 60 miles of 27104, only to your driveway; I’m sorry but cannot assist getting in to your home. I suggest disassembly and taking in pieces. Or a couple really strong backs!
• I will ship, but contact me for a quote prior to bidding.
Lastly, thanks for looking!
