    Never seen anything like this before, owned by a guy who used to run an antique shop.

    Thanks for sharing. Now that's an odd ball design and set up. Have to move that in sections I suspect. Hope Welder Dave doesn't see it...he'll want it for his Man Cave :D

    It's an oddball for sure, when I did some searching I found many variations most of which were positioned with that large back against a kitchen fireplace opening, designed as an upgrade from way back when.

    Those are really unique! Never seen that type before. Looks like the first unit was made to be a corner or peninsula with access from three sides.
    Are these as found or they were restored?

    Not sure about the condition of those one's I found them in a google search, they look to be Belgium, I've seen them sell for upwards of a grand but some guy just scored one for $ 69.00 !
