Antique Questions Forum / Tonk piano stool

« on: March 24, 2010, 06:59:24 pm »

Hello everyone,  I have a Tonk piano stool that I am trying to find information on.  Does any one have any idea where I can look for information or even pictures of this stool. It has an iron center with three twisted wrought iron legs.  It has the screw in post to adjust your height with a wood top. I can get a picture of the stool if need be it would probably be a good idea anyway.  Other than sitting in the shed collecting dust, where the top screws on to the stool the iron base is broke.  You can still see where it says Tonk, Chicago, New York. Is there any reproduction pieces made for this stool so I can repair it.  One guy told me to take it to the welding shop and have them weld on a piece.  I do not like this idea as it will distort the work Tonk on the base as thats where it is broke. Also what is the value of this stool. Any help would be appreciated. Roy
