this railing (and several others) were produced for and old apartment building in Milwaukee that has original Cyril Colnik railings around the courtyard. the design was simplified a bit to accommodate

Couple of snaps of parts of a railing we pre-fitted last week.  The woodwork is yet to be finally sanded so we have not permanently installed, the railing had been sitting in the shop finished for 2months & we had to go and discuss lighting fixtures so it was a good opportunity to snag the railing too.  Hauled the darn thing up and down 3 flights of stairs and having to re-pack the truck with it didn't feel all that great but it went in just like it was supposed to so can't complain, now its under plastic in the shop till the wood's finished.  Will look better with it's walnut cap rail.
