Thanks for all the great feedback.

A few more things I am lookong for your opinions on:

1.  Any ideas about the potential value --- both as-is and restoed?

2.  Any ideas about the cost to restore?

I ultimately would like to incorporate it into my home.  Just unsure whether the resotration cost/value would outweih the item's worth.

Thanks in advance.
that would depend on how much it cost in the first place,and whether is eating into your corn....personally. ..i think its the stuff of nightmare,s...and should be kept out of sight..especially young childrens sight....your surname is,nt Adams ...by any chance.... ;D
I make no excuses,and no apologies....but i like a good Malt,

Mart, they said it was very brittle and dry.  So it could have any kind of condition.  Especially since I am betting it is a 1800's piece...it could have.

That would be best if there is anyone in his area !!  Some of these can be worth a few dollars depending on the quality !!   Not exactly my style but interesting anyway !!

Now that's an idea !!  It reminds me of a console table my Grandmother had,,gargoyles on the legs and huge carved feet with claws !!  She sold it in the 60`s to her sis in law who had an antique shop for $12.50 !!
