CASTERS FOR mAUREEN
Below are caster sets I’ve yet to clean and list for sale that I think may fit your needs, as well as the set you like most, and lastly, your caster forks with new wheels. Click images to enlarge.
Am sorry, but wasn’t sure what to put for pricing, not knowing how much refurbishing you would require. If you do like any of these, let me know your thoughts on what you would want done to them and I’ll cite pricing for that. Thanks.
1930s INDUSTRIAL CASTERS
Large, very heavy duty set of thick cast iron. All swivel. Cleaned, but do show a little rust. Can be rusted further and offered as-is, or a worn blue-gray paint effect can be created as intended for those above.
4” diameter wheels, so I’m guessing them to have an approx 5 1/4” overall height.
$350
As-is patina with more rust in nooks and crannies.
$500
As above, with the addition of rubber “tread”.
$550
As above, with the addition of a worn blue-gray paint effect.
Final Patina.
• Rubber tread applied to wheels
• Worn paint effect to match hall tree with exposed metal and faux oxidation in areas.

Rough test of inner tube rubber cut to make tread.
Axle Bolt Rusted To Wheel
As you can see in this video, the axle bolt spins with the wheel, so it’s rusted to it. This doesn’t present a huge problem, but if this were to see heavy duty use like this, the bolt would eventually wear a larger hole in the forks that hold it. I’ve applied rust penetrant, so it will just need a little time to soak deep into the center of the wheel and begin to break down that rust.
