VINTAGE LARGE BALL SOLID WOOD NEWEL POST SET    This is a circa 1970s, solid wood newel post balls with a deep mahoghany~reddish lacquered finish.  It measures approximately 5 1/2” W x 7" H~8" H to the end of the dowel.  Condition is very good with shallow mars to lacquer finish from light use + at the round bottom piece has a flat side that may have been a production error as the finish seems to be the same as the rest of the newell or perphaps they needed to slice off a shard to make it fit against a wall I do not know.  Please look at the pictures provided to see if that will be an issue for your project. The newel is constructed with thick slices of wood that are turned.
