    Description

    Beautiful vintage 1950s Dennis Mitchell baby Portable Bassinette or as I know them, "Car Bed".  I don't really know anything about this, but it is in excellent vintage condition and super clean.  I took pictures of some very tiny slits in the bed and mattress - very hard to find.  There are probably more because of age, but those were the only ones I saw and they are really hard to see.  It even has the hard to find hooks that go over the back seat of the car ... appears to hook on the side (I don't think it will even hook on the back seats of today's cars because the back seats are so different from the 40s and 50s cars).  It looks like it converts from a bed to a car seat, but I don't know how -- it has the plastic straps that I assume went around the baby in the sitting position.  The legs and handles are no longer shiny after all these years.  The push-in buttons are gone, except for one, on the legs to put them up and down, but the screws inserted in the holes keeps the legs from collapsing.  Not safe to use for a baby anyway, so this is really more of a collectible for to place in cars for those who show old cars (like they do with vintage car seats).
    You will be buying "as is" and no refunds (but it really is a beautiful piece)
