This Wrought Iron Music Stand is approximately 50 years old. It might have been custom made. The music stand is pretty heavy. There is a screw in the side to allow for adjustment of height. Yes, it works. Please see the photos below. Cleaned up and painted, this item would look great as a display piece in a musicians house. We were planning on putting it in the garden and grow flowers around it, but with little children, we reconsidered it. As far as I know, this item has only been stored in a garage. I welcome all offers. I will e-mail you if I accept your offer and to let you know up front, I only accept cash. Thank You.
