Dark and Stormy

Dark and stormy! This is the original Oak top, with a coffee dark stain. The rough texture, cracks, nicks, scratches, and residue tell the life story of this hard working cart. The completely authentic Lineberry stencil is very dark on both sides of the frame, standing out loud and clear. The cast iron hardware, all polished, was cast with the part numbers in relief. Dimensions: 27 x 48 x 16.5 See more details at http://www.shop.oldcoldstorage.com/Lineberry-141207-141207.htm

Be my Honey Bee

The markings of industrial history are all over this cart. The authentic Lineberry stencil, extremely dark and sharp, can be seen on both sides of the frame, plus, as part of a factory transfer, the working carts were all numbered - this one was labeled NC567. The eye-catching top still has the yellow and burgundy paint from the factory in stripes on alternating boards, along with the cracks, chips, and marks that recall its' long life. The large side wheels have the part number / Lineberry name in relief on the cast iron. The hardware has been polished. Measures 27 x 48 x 16.

Dining Room Plant - Interesting stencils

This new coffee table, just out of the shop, was made from a Lineberry furniture factory cart with the (whatever you like to call them) Fleur, Floral, Daisy-style wheels.  The wood grain on the original oak top gives it a rich texture, and this cart was clearly used in the division of the furniture factory which specialized in dining room items.  How fun is this?

A customized cart coffee table

This table is well and truly one-of-a-kind. Customized from cast iron parts and antique wood taken from other carts, this is a beautiful example of a craftsman's creativity. The four large wheels were cast by the Charles Francis company, but the frame is another style. The cast iron hardware, including the corner brackets, are polished. The spectacular wood top is made from reclaimed American Chestnut barn siding. The wood top measures 26 x 48 1/4, and the cart stands 16 inches tall.

New refurbished cart coffee tables

Finally cleaned up after the LOCKN music festival, where we put our architectural salvage chops to work creating all sorts of interesting functional and beautiful pieces used inside the venue. 

Now that we've rested up, we are back to work refurbishing railroad carts into coffee tables. You can see the selection of new additions at http://shop.oldcoldstorage.com/Refurbished-Carts_c3.htm

Good ol' Chas Francis

The Charles E. Francis Truck & Caster Company, from Rushville, Indiana, clearly put time, detail, and love into the design of their carts. 

These beautiful carts make beautiful coffee tables once they've been cleaned and fully refurbished, polished and painted.  See more photos and details at http://www.shop.oldcoldstorage.com/Charles-Francis-Truck-and-Caster-Company-Coffee-Table-CF1349-CF1349.htm
