Bedroom Set
The set – bed, dresser, comode –
was new when my parents (Gilbert and Lillie
Cardinal) were married in 1901. The bed no
longer exists. The set is made of cherry
wood. The dresser originally had a mirror in
a frame so that the mirror could be tilted.
My mother removed the frame and hung the
mirror on the wall in the 1920's. The frame
is gone, but the mirror was left in attic at
132 S. Oneida St. until Carl Sippel gave it
to me in 1985. The bevel-edge mirror has a
broken-out section which my mother concealled
with picture post cards.

OldThings.html#rocker
Rocking Chair
The bent-wood arm rocker belonged to my
grandmother, Lillie Roy Strahl Whipple
(1860-1921), and it was used by her until
her death in 1921. Then it became the
property of my mother, Lillie Strahl
Cardinal (1877-1948), until her death in
1948. It was constantly used all those
years. After Mother's death, the chair
remained in our attic until I completed
refinishing in 1982.
I removed all of the old finish and
refinished with Formby's tung oil finish
rubbed into the natural wood. I replaced
the seat with new leather tooled by my
sister-in-law, Helen Lu Ferslev, in a
pattern similar to the original. New
tacks were used. Other than minor joint
tightening, no restoration was needed.

OldThings.html#cleaver
Butcher's Clever with sword handle
Used in Napolean's army.
The sword handle was probably a replacement,
used instead of a regular handle because
no other was available.
It was later found in a Wisconsin
blacksmith's trash pail.
The rescuer brought it home and his
wife used it to cut kindling. (Early 1800's.)
It travelled with them to Washington [state]
and back, when it got its real workout
chopping wood (1930's).
