J.W. Fiske Antique Aquarium

I found one in May after searching for a few years. Like his, mine needed full restoration and if all goes well it will be complete this week. There are a few differences from mine and his. Mine is slightly smaller and has a different base. Mine does have a functioning fountain in the center. I should have finished pics this week if anyone cares to see it.

Cant wait to see the fully restored aquarium pics
 
Awwwwh mmmaaaannnnn wonderful stuff. I salute anyone with the patience to do this kinda thing.
 
It took much longer to get this restored than I had planned but after a lot of work it is finally finished. I do need to add plants, then fish as that will be the easier part of this whole project. Please excuse the quality of the pictures I provide because I do not have the best camera in my phone.
