Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:51683 |
J.R. Palmenberg's Sons New York - Patent March 27, 1894
I bought this from a local family that had a clothing store many years ago. It is very tall, measures about 90" high with finial. 1" center steel tube. Original finial is nickel plated brass and has wear and a slight bend. Base is solid heavy cast iron with a nickel plated brass cover, nickel is worn. Rack has 4 J.R. Palmenberg adjustable hangers that measure 18" long from center to end. They are 1/4" thick nickel plated brass.... Each hanger has a unique ratchet mechanism for lowering and raising, they can be locked in position at different angles. By pressing a thumb latch it unlocks the teeth and lowers rack arm Mechanisms still work. 1 hanger has a crack but is still very solid, strong and able to be used with no problems(see last photo). The pole can be shortened without a problem. Racks can be moved up, down and sideways. They also can be removed by a hinged center mount and thumb screw. Rack mechanisms have wear, tarnish and a little play in pivot joints.
Any questions just ask.
No shipping but would consider delivering in Northeast, 300 mile radius for $1 a mile, one way.
