Franz Kissel has several items he wishes to give away to any interested parties in DPWW. This includes some feather boards, several salvaged turned spindles, several wooden balls/spheres and a plexiglass router guide designed for use with a 6" base plate.
Franz gave me the following info regarding some of the items:
The spindles came from a veranda on Chicago’s North Side, a bldg. on Lawrence Av. and Lakeshore Dr. I happened to come by as demo work took place. That was in 1972.The wood is mahogany.
The wooden balls are from the display department of the Peoples Gas bldg. at their old location at 122 S Michigan Av. The bldg. opened up in 1911. As a cabinet maker, working for the bldg. Management, I helped to build and install window displays for along their corner display windows on Adam’s and Michigan Av . The bldg. was sold and storage rooms, emptied. The wood is some sort of a hardwood.
If interested in any of these items, let me know and I will work with Franz to get them to you. He indicated that he is feeling under the weather as of this date so it may take a bit of time. Thanks.
