19th C. 4 Dr, 2 Drw Stepback Cupboard - This primitive stepback has GREAT old paint as can be seen in the photos. In addition, the size of this cupboard is just right, not too big. Everything is "right". All square nailed. Just hard to find stepbacks in this size category in great paint for this price. One side could not be scraped all the way down to the green without damaging the paint, although green paint is showing through. See the photos. If you like old primitive painted cupboards like I do, this is the one. Size" 79" tall X 40" wide X 20" deep Price: SOLD

		19th Century Red Painted Grain Bin. Exceptional early grain bin in it's original Oxblood Red paint. All square nailed. 6 board chest consisting of 28" wide front and back boards. This is a rare find and to find a bin with boards this wide is exceptional. The right side has a split in it as can be seen in the photo. Still solid and sound. The top's left hinge has an early repair to it from when someone threw open the top without supporting it and it must have tore the wood. The repair is early as it still retains the red paint. Also intriguing I found a set of mortises in the back board for hinges however no mating mortise in the top. I believe the top IS original to the piece as the wood is the same in color and grain as the rest of the boards. The existing hinges look to be original and are also mortised in. My guess is that the builder intended to use only 2 smaller hinges but then switched to a larger heavier hinge to support the large top. This is a great piece of early Americana. We are glad that we were able to obtain it from where it was on display at the Hinckley Folk Art Museum in Ithica, NY. Price: SOLD

Loaded with character, chop marks, and wear in all the right places. A bowl over 200 years old is sure to have some cracks. This one has one major crack that has been repaired and is under control so that no more checking will occur. Another crack on the other side does not go all the way to the edge and never will, as that has been wired tight as well. The repairs have been properly made and keep the integrity of this bowl intact. Measures 25 3/8" X 24 3/8" X 8" high. Price: SOLD
