Re: antique iron baby crib with oval iron baby angel
I have a similar crib. It is just a bit more upscale. I do not see a place to post a picture here. My Mother used it for six kids starting in 1947. I am not sure if it was her crib also. I had it sansblasted and powder coated for $80 and it looked brand new. I used it for two kids and it has yellowed after being stored for 25 years with a few scratches. I am selling it in a moving sale this weekend and hope to get $125 with the matress. The bars on the headboard are spaced too wide for today's safety requiremets.
