cast iron camelback park (sitting) bench with red oak slats.

By saturn_nomad, 26 September, 2010
Description

The wood slats are weathered in that there is no varnish or finish left. The wood is in very good condition. The iron has no rust. (just cobwebs and dirt) The backrest has a  flattened depiction of a flower in the center and a flower at both ends. All the iron work is painted black. I don't know what it looked like originally. There seems to be several small nail or screw holes in the top center of the camelback wood slat. Possibly a brass or other metal plaque with the makers name was there.
