Parker sent several photos after asking about adjustable stands and patina vs. shiny for cages. Here are the pictures he included.
This is an absolutely stunning Hendryx cage complete with the metal-tipped perches and all 3 "T" feeders. One of the slide clips is missing. The rest of the cage is intact. Stunning.
This is the closed hoop adjustable stand. It has a heavy cast iron base with a brass cover to it. The hoop adjusts up or down, depending on what you want centered in it and how. There is a piece that he has coming up under the cage that is meant to rest the cage on if preferred (instead of hanging the cage). It is lacking the 8"X1/2" glass plate that is meant for this stand. This would be an easy replacement to finish off this magnificent stand.
This is a seed guard. It is adjustable in both the length and width. This is rare. I've only seen one of these before. It is meant to go around the cage and catch the seed mess in cages that do not have the screen seed guards. Early cages did not include the screen seed guards.
If you have comments to anything said here or about the pictures, please feel free to comment. My goal is to have give and take among the readers. I appreciate all the comments.
