DESCRIPTION:
Interesting, antique drafting table.
By the FREDERICK POST CO., CHICAGO – SAN FRANCISCO. Cast iron, steel, wood. Height and table angle adjustable. Geared height adjustment. Wood
top.
The wood top was presumably replaced at some point, although the 2 wood supports on the underside of the tabletop appear to be original.
Signed in casting.
Circa early 20th century. USA.
All sides of the table are represented in the photos.
CONDITION:
FUNCTION:
All functions are easily operable with no issues. The height adjustment would probably benefit from cleaning and lubricating, but I had no difficulty adjusting the
table up and down.
COSMETIC CONDITION, BASE:
The base is in excellent, all original cosmetic condition. No damages and no significant wear. No restorations.
No apparent missing, replaced or non original parts.
Paint / surfaces appear to be original.
No dings, chips, losses, cracks, breaks, dents, bends, significant oxidation, significant scratches. No signs of abuse.
There is a small notch to the bottom edge of the gear housing — see photo. The notch is completely smooth and appears to be a casting flaw.
Light, use-related wear, including scattered paint rubs.
Generally clean and presentable, although I have only wiped it with a damp cloth.
COSMETIC CONDITION, TOP:
Typical use-related wear and some scattered staining to the top.
Otherwise the top is in sound, usable condition.
