several sets of early 20th century chicago area factory refinished cast iron machine bases recently added to urban remains's website

over the past few weeks we have been acquiring a sizable number of completely refinished american cast iron industrial machine bases salvaged from chicago area recently shuttered chicago area factories.

the matching sets of bases available on the urban remains's website have been thoroughly cleaned and brushed down to bare metal and sealed with a clear coat lacquer to prevent surface corrosion. the heavy duty machine bases offered provide virtually endless possibilities for the transformation into usable repurposed household furniture.

many more sets in various sizes and configurations will be arriving shortly, and after being refinished, will be posted on the website. a sampling of existing (i.e., currently online for purchase) bases recovered as of recent, are shown below in the image gallery.
