    I picked this beauty up from a "junk" store for $50. It was covered in filth and being stored outdoors. As you can see from the pictures, it still needs some TLC, but I was able to get the top layer of filth off. It has the original sideboards, and all the slats. As you can sort of see in the 4th picture, it has wooden wheels (picture was taken pre-cleaning). If you look really closely you can see an engraving that looks like a comet on the metal part of the castor. The only markings I found were on the back of the headboard. It was "311 WAL". I'd really love some opinions on how old it is? I wasn't really able to find anything that matched it online. Thank you in advance!
