The casters from Great Lakes were a perfect fit.  A few weeks ago I bought an antique desk chair in Tryon, NC, but it was missing the original casters.  The new ones from Great Lakes Caster with their antique brass finish were a great match appearance-wise and the spherical roller design probably rolls and swivels much better than the old fashioned cylindrical kind they replaced. Regards,

Rich purchased a PSE20305WA caster by Shepherd Caster.  You can find this caster at:
