Josh, someone on this site bought the family car. We can wait for him to respond.
Couple gurneys. Take your pick for $100.
Initially I thought this wheelchair may be Victorian. After seeing markings on reverse, probably early 1900s. It reads:
SMITH FUNERAL SERVICE
Ambulance and Oxygen Service
Gibsonville, NC
Can't quite make manufacturer's mark out. Oval design, 5 letter: ?L?SH maybe? Really cool piece. Someone will need it. Until then it may see use if I dress as a steampunk for Halloween. (<---Joke. Haven't time this year - although it would be a wonderful prop!)
Went hard after a folder containing large '50s b/w photographs taken professionally by Maynard's Studio in Darlington, NC. Rewarded with 9 shots showing Bartlett FH and employees. Again, excuse glares. A sample:
And my favorite:
Although the location shown opened in the early '50s, the family had been in the funeral parlor business going all the way back to the late 1700s(!). We found a few small remnants in a garage from a '36 Chevy hearse.
