I bought a vintage 1940's metal glider, metal rocker, and matching metal chair a few weeks ago. They are the very popular Pie Crust design that everyone loved. For the past two days I have stripped and taken apart 1 chair and the glider. I finally got all of the rust off and painted the primer on this morning. This afternoon I painted one chair and the top of the glider. I love the green color and it makes the metal really pop out. I was going to sell all three items but by the time I am done I may just keep them. Gliders that are in pristine condition are hard to find. This one is a keeper. I hope I get them done before the end of the week. I would be tempted to sell all three as a set but I'd have to ask $700.00. I saw a similar set in Selma this weekend that was in bad shape for $800.00.
Here are pictures to show the progress.
Wow...what a difference! They already look great...keep up the hard work...can't wait to see them when they are finished!! :)
