THE BUY IT NOW PRICE IS FOR ONE STANDARD AGED PAIR OF BRACKETS FOR THE C/D COMBO (on the left) OR THE E COMBO (right hand set) UNITS AND CORRECT BRADS FOR INSTALLATION (first picture). ADDITONAL PRICING IS LISTED IN THE AD FOR ADDITIONAL G AND H COMBO BRACKETS AND EXTENSIONS AND CUSTOM FINISHES THAT WERE AVAILABLE FROM THE FACTORY ORGINALLY AT THE TIME UNITS WERE CUSTOM ORDERED (please refer to the available Globe Wernicke catalogues available today to verify this).

 For those of you who are Globe Wernicke stack barrister legal bookcase collectors, restorers and fans these are EXACTLY what you need to finish detailing your bookcase units. For the first time in over a hundred years these parts are now again available. These are the Right and Left end cap assemblies for the step back shelves for the C/D step back combo unit, E step back combo unit, rare G step back combo unit and the rare H step back combo series units. The 4th photo down on the left hand column shows the units C combo though H combo all stacked on top of one another. This is a photo most people would never have the opportunity to see. The brackets come available in all the possible finishing combinations offered by the factory with the units when they were originally built and sold (please 3rd photo down in left hand column). The C/D combo unit bracket is approximately 3" overall length and 7/8" width. This is the same bracket that was used on the G combo and H combo units but an additional separate extension plate was abutted to the rear of the bracket to fully line the side of the step back board (please see the final 3 pictures in the right hand column). The E combo unit bracket is approximately 4 1/2" in length and 7/8" wide. The materials used in the production of these brackets are identical to the original manufacturers. The dimensions and stampings are original down to the last micron. These parts were 10 years in the making. They went through multiple revisions until they were exacting to the originals. I would not settle for anything less than identical parts. Once the patterns were matched then we had to wait for 1-2 years for the manufacturer to work us in between big runs at the factory of other customer’s orders.  You would think that these were actually originals unless I told you otherwise. The aged versions look identical to what is on my units. The plated version look like what they would have appeared 100 years ago when built. I can age them further if desired to get a closer match to additional units you may have in your library.  These parts have never been found in any of the Globe Wernicke catalogues for ordering and may never have been available on replacement from the factory. This may explain why so many are missing from these units today? There is only a limited number of these available and given the very high cost of production/run time additional sets may not be available for some time (if ever) once these are gone. I have also gone to the additional efforts and expense to match the round headed brads for securing the brackets. NOTE: any imperfections you see in the photos are present! Just like the factory ones these are processed and aged and will show numerous imperfections consistent with the originals present on your units. Do not expect perfect items just authentic ones! No two pieces of plated brackets will be identical nor will the Japanning. This is all done by hand. Every finish on the pieces will be unique just like the originals!

About lacquering. The factory lacquered the brackets once the final finish was done. The additional plating you may want will not come lacquered unless you order it additionally. Unlacquered the brackets will age very quickly and loose their luster matching your other older bands in your stack. Or if you wish to save on the lacquering expense you can so it yourself.

ABOUT SHIPPING! Every single offering here has a large amount of hand work involved in it. The more custom work you order the longer it takes to deliver on the order. You have to be patient if you want the best quality product. Copper Tiger striping/Japanned orders can take up to 4-6 weeks depending on my schedule. I have to do many other things to be able to afford to have these items available to you.
