Bassett Crib Parts Identification Help

by Janie
(Cedartown, GA )

I’m trying to identify an older Bassett crib before I go any further with it, because without the original manual it’s hard to tell what parts are actually missing and what the different pieces were originally called.

So far I’ve found that it helps to start with the model number, label, or any stamped information on the crib instead of guessing based on how the hardware looks.

This page has been useful for understanding the names of the different crib components:

It helped me compare the pieces I have to the way crib hardware is usually described in older documentation.

I’m still trying to narrow down the exact model and figure out what paperwork or reference material might match it. Since some older cribs also had moving side pieces, I’m trying to identify everything carefully before deciding what to do next.

If anyone has dealt with an older Bassett crib like this, I’d appreciate any information you can share.

You’re on the right track starting with identification first. With older Bassett cribs, especially from the mid-1990s, a lot of the hardware can look similar across models but still be slightly different in size or fit.

If you haven’t already, it can help to check the headboard, footboard, or underside of the mattress support area for a label or stamped model number. That’s usually the quickest way to narrow things down to the correct documentation.

These pages may help you sort through the terminology and compare what you have:

Since Bassett confirmed they no longer carry parts for that model, the key is making sure you’re matching the original hardware as closely as possible before considering any alternatives. Even small differences in brackets, bolts, or support pieces can affect how everything fits together.

Because this involves the main crib structure, it’s also worth reviewing basic safety information before putting an older crib back into use:

If anyone here has worked with Bassett model 5089-050 or found documentation that matches that timeframe, it would definitely help to share what you found.
