WE OFFER SETS OR SINGLE… ANTIQUE BED RAILS IN GOOD VINTAGE CONDITION. Please read the details about our bed rail listing The bed rails we sell are around 70-100 years old. Its necessary for your antique bed to have good fitting bed rails which prevent bed from rocking and wobbling and breaking… There should be no movement in the rail connection area. NOTE (PICTURES IN THIS LISTING) : Pictures above are examples meant to show the wide variety of rails used 100 yrs ago (not intended to choose rails from this pic)… The is by no means a complete listing of all rails available (we stock over 150 rails). EXAMPLE : One of the biggest misconceptions of old iron beds is that all cone shape iron rails are the same. When these beds were made around 100 to 150 years ago, there was no industry standard for bed rail connection systems. While many appear similar some may have subtle differences. The differences cause a mis-fit and can even cause a broken rail or connection if force (steel hammer) is applied to the connection, we have seen hundreds of beds and rails broken because of this pressure , in our bed rail business we sometime recommend a short bed rail sample to determine the correct rail type if there is a question with a fit, this insures a good fitting rail with no costly rail return. BED RAIL SAMPLE for Iron Beds (samples to test fit, not for sale) 30. Steel Hammers are never recommended When Installing a bed rail on an iron bed NEVER USE A HAMMER. A hammer can break the bed hitch or the bed rail. Sometimes the hitch can have a accumulation of rust preventing it from seating correctly, use a tubing wire brush to clean all these connections, We use a rubber mallet to install bed rails. Sometimes a steel hammer is necessary but only to Remove or Uninstall the bed rail from the bottom only (never to install rail). The first step in a rail search is to send pics of your Bed Hitch/connection, which is where the bed rail inserts to the headboard/foot board.
