Offered here for your consideration is a unique, antique oddity, being a B.F. Gleason cooling rack from the 1880s. This very rare and, yes, a bit unusual, embalming table was manufactured in Brockport, NY. Gleason tables were unique in that they folded to be easily portable. Dating from an era when funerals were commonly held in the deceased's home, the cooling table would be set up over several large blocks of ice to preserve the body. Add this rare table to your collection or decor. Bid now!
