It requires a custom mattress to be made, between a twin and a full. Someone told me it was made with square nails. Go to these web pages for screen shots. thanks for the help =)

And also if anyone could tell me what I should probably charge for selling it. =)

I'm no art historian, but it looks late Victorian or early Edwardian to me. The fact that it needs a special mattress would back that up. They made feather beds back them and didn't have to have standard sizes.

Nice piece. I would have it appraised. I took a look at the iron parts and they appear to be hand hammered witch would date to 17-1800's. The wood could be English oak, witch suggests it's European, but could be early American maybe dutch-colonial. It appears to have been repaired at some time,
but that's OK.
I would start @ $1000 and take it from there if its a full frame.

I'm not so sure everyone on here knows what they are talking about, so to be on the safe side, I would take it to be appraised...but I definately don't think it's as old as 1800's...early to mid 1900's maybe...either way, it's a beautiful piece...why are you getting rid of it?

you are asking in the wrong places, you have a nice piece and it will bring quite a nice sum. There are web sites available that price every thing, and give the selling price in different part of the USA.

Looks very old maybe 150 years maybe your ancesters brought it over from Scotland. I would buy a foam mattress for it.

Platform is plenty extra useful because it provides extra help to the returned. often if somebody slips a disk they are advised to sleep on boards for further help till the disk is going returned. the different element being springs do tend to sag with positioned on, requiring the whole mattress to get replaced, while you are able to replace the mattress purely whilst worn.
