Rare James Barker cast iron barber pole. From the James Barker Foundry, circa 1900. A restored painted cast iron floor model with leaded glass globe. Paint is high quality, very detailed down to the stars, diamonds and the painted embossed letters of “JAS. BARKER INC, PHIL, PA” in one of the cast iron collars. Base has three mounting holes to secure if desired. No short cuts were taken on this restoration, no missing parts. Pole is in great working condition with the center turning within the clear circular glass tube. Pole is further enhanced by the fantastic multi-color leaded glass globe. A very patriotic red, white and blue with gold trim. Overall condition is near perfect with only very minor nicks/scratches. If you are looking for the best, this should be it. Measures 86” tall with the base 11” in diameter. **Please Note: This is a very heavy item. Buyers are responsible for bringing their own help and any necessary equipment for loading at pickup.
