There was only a spiral stair case going up, so it must have been lifted to get there in the past. I have two different Wm. Reed catalogs from the 1880's and they are pictured and the only difference being the hardware.
Mom, commandeered one for her glassware, the other is mine, I think! Well, this old fart can't rotate the photos, please feel free to do so for me. Thank You!
