So, I went to the sale of a lifetime this past weekend. A storage barn of an antiques dealer that passed about 10 years ago. She specialized in early primitives and American folk art and boy-oh-boy you do not want to miss this week. I took photos of the items that I bought for one full day, and still am not finished – but decided to go ahead and list what I have – enjoy!
This old antique noodle board is the real deal, not a reproduction, and it was hand made - it really is gorgeous. I also want you to know that I see several different generations of nails at the bottom (not new ones, old generations) as well as the original nails - I think that not only has it had some "strengthening" of its structure over the generations, but I think there\'s a good posibility that it may have been refinished (not so much totally, maybe just varnished to bring out the grain and color), too. Now, that\'s my hunch, I have no real proof, but for the age that it is, I think that the finish looks almost too good to be original, I\'d think it would have much more of a rustic look (and the different generations of nails made me think that too) - see what you think. If anything, I think it may have been varnished, because you can see the variations in the wood from use - lighter spots, and darker spots that are just almost black. If it was done, it wasn\'t recently, either, it was a while ago. All that being said, I would never never pass up an oldee like this - these are so rare to find that are old - so many of them being reproductions that are sold. No, this one is not large enough to cover your stove, but it is a nice size, and will look fabulous in your primitive palace! I think the wood is pine - please supersize and see if you agree, it weighs a smidge under 5 lbs and it measures 20" wide at the front, 14 1/8" wide at the back, 13 7/8" deep and stands 4 3/4" tall at the three raised sides - back, left and right. It is in excellent solid and sturdy condition - totally strong, but you can see loooooots of rustic wear to the piece from use and age over the years. There\'s definitely finish wear all over (more so on the board itself in the very front and the front edge - see my photos - the finish is worn more and you can see more of the wood natural wood there), the dark spots that I spoke of, scratches, scrapes, nibbles, nicks, shallow chips (like I\'m showing in photo 6 - it\'s on the right side of the top of the board and is the largest, at about 2", but is shallow too), cracks that do not move, darkdark rusty headed hardware with black wood around them, and there\'s one of the nails that comes up from the bottom of the right side - you can see the top of it on the inside of the right ledge, about 3" from the front of that side and 1" up. It\'s dark, so it\'s really hard to notice, and it\'s not sticking out to be sharp - know what I mean? There\'s another nail tip sticking out at the backside left (at the back of the side of the board so you do not see it from the front). It\'s about the same size as the other nail I\'m discussing above, and you can see it in photo 13. The board is reallyreally dusty and cobwebby - especially on the top of the board and along the perimeter where the board meets the side edges - that\'s the white haze that you see, it\'s dust. It really needs a good bath - I have not cleaned or messed with the as found patina in any way. You can see that is has a wonderful simple decorative cut to the front ends of the two side boards, and the side handle openings that you expect to see with a noodle board. I can\'t stress enough how beautiful it is - I don\'t think my photos do it justice. It was a WOW for me from the get go.
Customer Satisfaction is extremely important to me. If you receive an item and are not satisfied in any way, please contact me before leaving response.
Please ask if you have any questions, or feel free to inform me if you have any information about one of my listings. As with any of my items, if you ever need extra photos, let me know.
Pick up is welcome on any of my items. I’m happy to combine shipments for you, but I do ask that there be no more than 7 days from the purchase of the first item – I will invoice after 7 days as I cannot hold the items longer than that. Please know that some items cannot be combined, though, do to size, weight, or safety of the items. Most items set to ship in USPS FLAT RATE boxes; I cannot combine due to size restrictions. Please look at the shipping alternatives in the listings. I only mail USPS and pack in the best manner that we feel safe – I cannot change shipment methods after the close of an sale (i.e. rolling an old map to save money when I have it set to ship flat), especially if I feel the requested method is not safe. Again, I only ship USPS and charge actual cost to ship only. I ship within one business day of receipt of your payment, unless there’s a holiday that closes the post office, or I will notify you otherwise. As I shop for treasures on the weekends, I most often do not ship on Saturday.
Many of my items come from local rural estate sales and sales. They are coming right from the barn or attic to you - dust, cobwebs and all! I do not clean and polish before I sell – they are in the condition found, as you see in my photos, and I leave the patina exactly as it was when I bought the item. I do my best to photo and describe all thoroughly.
Please email me before offerding if you do not use PayPal, and we can discuss possible payment alternatives. Payment is due within 3 business days after close of sale.
With postage rates increasing regularly, I am shipping more and more items Parcel Select. Parcel Select travels by land or rail and the packages do not leave the regional post office until they fill up a bin going in the same direction (so the estimated delivery is truly only an estimate – not exact). The post office estimates 5-7 days, but it can go up higher, sometimes even 3-4 weeks in peak mailing times like the holidays. I always provide a tracking number, so you can see where your item is on any day.
Sales tax will be added for Illinois buyers.
…and thanks so much for looking, I appreciate having you as a customer!
