Lookie what I found on local craigslist, and Monkey picked up today! It is V-E-R-Y heavy!! And only $45.00!!! Lady said AFTER she posted it, she looked around and realized it was too low, but stuck to the price, God bless her!!! As an aside, Monkey didn't have a $5 spot when she got there, so she wound up giving the lady $50 for it, so guess all is well... It folds up "into itself", and looks like this: Here's a backed-up pic, so you can see the fireplace surround: We have an "Oriental" lamp in the living room w/a caricature that is similar to the one on the screen. I guess my chances of hitting the lottery are now OUT THE WINDOW, after this & the farm sink scores!! CHEERS! Happy Chuckie

That is cool. I've seen them before, but I never realized they folded up like a fan.

The screen is beautiful and so is your whole fireplace and hearth. Cinderella wouldn't have minded sleeping there at all!

That's really cool! About how old do you think it is? I haven't a CLUE!!! The woman told me she'd been a collector of "junk" (her words) for many years, and just picked up stuff that "caught her eye". When I asked her on the phone " WHY" she would part w/it, she said their last son had FINALLY graduated from KU 'last year', and after many previous moves, she was ready to "downsize", and they no longer had a fireplace. As an aside, Monkey said she lived in a V-E-R-Y shall we say "affluent" neighborhood, yet she was common as an old shoe, nice to Monkey, front door standing open and the glass screen door unlocked when she greeted her. Interior that was visible chock FULL of nice antiques & curios. I would of wound up w/a TOUR knowing MOI, but Monkey is too reserved to imply/ask for such a thing w/o her "henchman"--a/k/a "Chuckie"! Guess there comes a time in ALL us "eccentrics" lifetimes to D-O-W-N-S-I-Z-E. So types "himself" as I continues to search Craigslist daily for more booty!! VIVA LA PACKRATS!!! Chuckie

I would have wanted the tour, too! Maybe she'll have something else that you "need" for sale soon and you can go back and check it out.
