The cushion on this bench was covered with 5 diferrent fabrics after carefully taking each one off I uncovered what i believe to be the original covering it is very pretty but seems to be tearing not at the seems but at the pattern lines it has one damaged leg. i included a picture of the tag that is on the bottom of the cushion. There seems to be an inspection stamp on it from the New York Division of Bedding.

This rolling hay hook pully was taken from a barn we were dismantling. The property the barn was sitting on had a deed dated 1896.

Six holes around double leaves looking design.  Of course, it has a plug.

It is a cockatiel standing on what looks like a rock or wood. It is a cockatiel standing on what looks like a rock or wood. It has two vey small chips on the bottom rim, and hairline crack you can barely see.

I am trying to find out if this is worth keeping or not. It has been in a box filled with a sweet smelling fuel in my garage. Any information about the date of manufacture would be great. It was in my grandparents possesion for a long time, but since they are gone now I cant get any info on it. It is pressed glass, says Hong Kong on the bottom. The metal is light weight and has not rusted at all. It has the original wick in it, but the fuel has been in it so long I am afraid to light it. I dont know what to clean the metal with so it is dusty.

There are 4 original metal wheels/casters with imprint of "patent 1896", head and foot board unfold from under bed frame which has wire mesh springs with hooks that slide into slots at end of side rails and locking into place. A "Royal" and "Ideal" are stamped on side rails. While searching web I found a  Royal Furniture Company in Grand Rapids Michigan who made beds around 1896 but did not find any pictures on the site.
