Wm. Reed & Sons Gun cabinets
Here are two Wm. Reed and Son Gun cabinets that I have been fortunate to have acquired over the years. One came from the Asa Packer Estate and the other from a residence on Lake Placid, NY. The one in NY was on the third floor of a summer residence and I had to round up some heavy duty young fellows to help me lower it down from the bedroom deck in a rope sling, and I wasn't Navy. 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!
