Massive Heavy Primitive Antique Wood Post Top Great Hat Stand Too! Bear with me and my photos this week - my camera does not like the cold, and my photos show it, and I’m struggling to find comparable natural light in my house. Last month, we went to round 1 of an estate sale a little east of me - the former owner was not only a primitive antique and folk art collector, he was also a prolific folk artist himself. I want to the 2nd and final estate sale recently of this estate, and came home with some wonderful pieces - you don’t want to miss. I’m also still listing items from the closed antique store auction, and a barn sale that I recently went to - there’s something for everyone! Here is an amazing, 7 1/2 lbs heavy post top that packs a punch of character! It's a large one, and I believe that it is oak - all solid. Measuring 10 1/2" tall, it is 10" at its widest, 8 1/2" diameter at the base, and the ball on top is 5 1/2" diameter. I have customers that use these wonderful old finial tops as hat stands, and this one would work beautifully. It's in excellent solid and sturdy condition - with loads of rustic wear to the finish and wood, in scratches, scrapes, nicks, and minor cracks. There's a 3 1/2" spot on the upper side of the widest rim that I'm showing in a close up - it's a shallow chip - more of a wear spot than a chip, it looks to me, though, and all part of the story of this olee. The finish is black, but I also see peeks of pink on the bottom underneath - go figure! The old mounting nails are still coming out of the bottom and have been pounded down. You could remove them, but it's not necessary - they do not impede with the standing - it's sound. Other than needing a goooood bath from hanging around all these years waiting for you - you're good to go. What's not to love about it?!? Please ask if you have any questions, or feel free to inform me if you have any information about one of my listings. As with any of my items, if you ever need extra pictures, let me know, just make sure that you give me an email address to send them to. Pick up is welcome on all of my items. I’m happy to combine shipments for you, but I do ask that there be no more than 7 days from the purchase of the first item - I will invoice after 7 days, as I cannot hold the items longer than that. Also, many of my items come from local rural estate sales and auctions. They are coming right from the barn or attic to you! I do not take the time to clean and polish before I sell - they are in the condition found, as you see in my photos - and I do my best to photo and describe thoroughly. Please do not let Ebay’s policy of requiring electronic payments keep you from bidding. Email me if this is not possible for you and we can discuss alternatives. Payment is due within 7 business days after close of auction, after that, the sale will be void, and I will relist the item. I have had some trouble with the Ebay shipping calculator giving people bombastic shipping rates (especially after purchase with the Ebay “Pay Now“ invoice on Parcel Post rates). I charge shipping cost, so if you think it’s too high, email me so that I can check it out, before you pay me. That being said, we pack very well, so that will add to the weight. I ship within two business days of receipt of your payment, or I will notify you otherwise. With postage rates going up and up, I am shipping more items Parcel Post. Please realize that this can mean a 2-3 week delivery, sometimes longer. As a matter of fact, this year, I’m finding the “longer” more the norm. Parcel Post travels by land or rail and, at least in this area, packages do not leave the regional post office until they fill up a bin going in the same direction (so there’s no estimated exact number of days like you have with Priority Mail - the Post Office says 5-7 days, but that‘s not what I’m finding). I mail right away so it can get to you as soon as possible. With the exception of the most heavy and/or large items, I will always give both Priority Mail and Parcel Post as shipping options, with Priori... read more
