How much is my 1912 Simmons brass twin bed worth?

Answer 1

Brass beds of that era were assembled with cold rolled steel which age hardens and becomes brittle, the beds fall apart requiring replacement of hardware. The ony brass beds made in one piece where the parts are brazed, made like a bronze will last thousands of years, the company originated in ottawa, moved to montreal on 77 or 2 yrears before the [arti quebecois came to power who declared the companies originator an enemy of the government, spending the next 15 years trying to deport him, succed in 1994 illegally, ending the only real brass bed company as all the new brass beds are either steel, plated with brass or brass and assembled like the old ones screwed together fall apart brass beds, but hey, the owners do not guarantee their goods for 40 years, and many claims made about the brass beds for sale are simply not true
