<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Copperdragon333, post: 10079423, member: 84989&quot;]Hi, I was wondering if anyone out there has ever seen this unusual type of furniture caster.&nbsp; I just purchased an all original platform rocker that’s been in the same family since new.&nbsp; I noticed that the base was loose and in need of re-gluing, so I proceeded to disassemble it.&nbsp; That’s when I discovered the interesting casters it has!&nbsp; It took me a bit to finally discover how to remove them: they are threaded in.&nbsp; But once removed, I realized just how odd they are: I’ve never seen anything like them before, but May someone out there has.&nbsp; Each wood wheel is attached to a cast iron swivel, which is enclosed by separating halves that, once joined, are threaded.&nbsp; They thread snugly into the bottom of the leg, and have flat spots so they can be tightened with a wrench!&nbsp; No marking except “PAT’D” as well as the number 4 on each swivel.&nbsp; If anyone is familiar with these and can help date them, I’d be grateful.[ATTACH]505911[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]505912[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]505913[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]505912[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]505913[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
