Automatic Cradle MFG
« on: June 27, 2015, 01:51:01 pm »
I was given the stand for a automatic cradle. The cradle was not with it and the could not find any other parts in their attic.
I found the original patent. The design had been changed by the time this one was made. I cannot find an information on the design.
I would really like to restore it. If anybody could help me with any information I would greatly appreciate it. The thought of it ending up in a dump makes me ill

Here is one style:

The company was in business for a relative long period of time and produced various designs I'm sure.

Another one:

Thank you. In your opinion what type of post/peg would have been used to mount the cradle to the rocking arm? Do you think that it would be made of walnut?
