Notes

Andiron Is Missing Four Ball Feet. Al Crabtree At the Brass and Silver Workshop Can Replace. apparently Andirons Had a Billet Bar (Noted on Card As a 'Chain') That Was Removed. Also, Card Notes That Originally Only One Andiron Was Missing Two Feet - Appears Two Were Removed From Second Andiron To Make Them Look the Same. the Location of the Billet Bar Or the Two Feet They Removed Is Unknown.
