Rare Gustav Stickley Server model 808
VERY RARE VINTAGE GUSTAV STICKLEY SERVER MODEL #808, 1905 TO 1912, DOUBLE SIGNED EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH NO SIGNIFICANT CHIPS, CRACKS, DINGS, STAINS OR WOOD REPLACEMENT. THE EDGES ARE CLEAN AND ALL FOUR FEET RETAIN THEIR ORIGINAL BEVEL. RETAINS IT'S ORIGINAL HAND-HAMMERED HARDWARE WITH PYRAMIDAL SCREWS, IT'S ORIGINAL RED DECAL SIGNATURE IN THE DRAWER AND ORIGINAL PAPER LABEL ON THE BACK, MODEL #808 HANDWRITTEN IN WHITE CHALK ON THE UNDERSIDE AND THE ORIGINAL "OOZE LEATHER" IN THE DRAWER IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. TO ERR ON THE SIDE OF CAUTION, WHILE WE FIND NO EVIDENCE OF STRIPPING OR REFINISHING, THE SERVER FINISH MAY HAVE BEEN CLEANED OR "SKINNED" MANY YEARS AGO. THE ONLY TWO EXAMPLES I WAS ABLE TO FIND AT AUCTION WERE ALSO LIGHTER IN COLOR AS WITH THIS EXAMPLE. THEY SOLD IN 2004 & 2005 FOR APPROXIMATELY $18,000. & $19,000. HANDWRITTEN ON THE PAPER LABEL IN GRAPHITE IS THE WORD "DARK" & THE NUMBER"2" WHICH BOTH SIGNIFY A DARK FINISH. MEASURES: 48" WIDE X 40" HIGH X 18" DEEP.
