Antique 1908 Oak Piano Stool, Ball & Claw Feet, Holtzman & Sons FOR PARTS:
$47.00

This is a beautiful stool, except for the damage :)The grain is great and the color is still quite rich although there is wear to the finish in places, particularly to the seat; I\'m not sure if this has ever been refinished. I purchased it with the thought of repairing it but we\'re moving next year and I need to clear out my projects.The center column is missing half; also missing is the rod that would have fed down through the column. The ball bearing parts are missing too. If a person was going to use the seat there are a couple of places that may or may not want filling in, and also there is some sort of hard, dried substance on it. The legs are loose so this could not/should not bear weight in its present condition. The legs appear to be without cracks but consider this stool to be for parts or repair as it has extensive damage and I may miss mentioning something.The four metal bird-like claw feet are in excellent condition with a beautiful patina and great detail; there is some rust present. The glass balls are all present. Overall they are in good condition and look great when the stool is in proper position. However, one has a very shallow chip and another has its back side broke off in a peculiarly flat, smooth fashion so maybe it\'s a production flaw. The screws look to be original.The iron plate on the underside of the seat reads HOLTZMAN & SONS COLUMBUS O. I\'m not sure of the age of this stool but Holtzman was in operation from the 1860\'s to 1959 and remained family-owned for the duration, I believe. This looks to be from its earlier decades. It has a patent date stamped underneath of June 18, \'08.I will be offering a choice between standard and priority shipping so make sure you compare costs at checkout.I only ship within the US except with prior approval.
