I had to travel to a couple hundred miles to find this one, and two others listed today, but they are, to my eye, really good ones. This one 1840s or so, and with those red painted stripes marching across the sides completely doing it for me; perfection.  Beautiful surface to the top, too, with the grain of the wood showing through the paint in an excellent way, and with the wear along the edges from years and years of handling and use just right. And on the underside, glorious mustardy yellow paint, with what looks to me like a signature handwritten in graphite along with a location: Pittsfield, NH. Maybe dealers who handle larger furniture don't get as excited about a stool as I do, but since I don't, and also since they make perfect pedestals for other objects, for me there is nothing better. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e11 1\/8\" w x 6 1\/2\" d x 5\" t.
