   Hello. I'm the new guy here. I was wondering if anybody here could show me a picture or some examples of what a ghost finial is on a patchbox.  Thanks, Fred

Hi Whitedog, and welcome to the site.

Sean, why not post them here so we can all see.  I haven't the foggiest idea what a Ghost Finial is.

Art is not an object.  It is the excitement inspired by the object.

Sorry guys, don't have a photobucket account for this stuff and the stuff I sent him is copyrighted.  What he's asking about is a term I used on another board.  It refers to the general shape of the finial on 1840's and 50's  Leman and Deringer 4-piece patchboxes.  The first Leman pictured on this link is an example:

The Deringers were skinnier.
