Refinishing the front door this weekend, we found a lacquer layer, white layer, dark red layer, turquoise layer, lacquer layer, white layer and another lacquer layer. The cut glass oval window has rough "chiseled" edges - some quite sharp (as Eric's hand found out the hard way).Sunday, June 29, 2008

Random pictures #14 & 15
Same senario - polishing things up and stumble upon another original piece of the house - see this design, and see design on Random Picture #1. This one reads "Design Pat. January 1884".
Do you think Ed carried these at Blyberg & Haugen? Anybody else have these in their house?
Random Pictures #12 & 13
Getting ready for the tour! Polishing everything up. If you can't read the date on the inside, it reads "Pat. Oct. 16, 83", as in patented October 16, 1883.
