what would distinguish this from a chest or a dresser? i've had many dressers (just newer ones to hold my clothes in and such) and this is roughly the same height / width / depth as all of them.

also, none of the dresser has any different finishes on it. it's all solid oak, except maybe a little vaneer on the side.

I've done some research, but all i have to go by is the big numbers and letters on the back, and i got nothing from google.

i'm dying to know the value of this. my mom said she had somebody offer her $800 about 15 years ago, but i can never tell if my mom is exaggerating or not, so i figured you guys might be able to help me out.

i'm really excited to find out more about this. who made it? about what era or time? is it actually an antique? etc. all i know so far is the few things i've heard from friends. it has wooden wheels, it's solid oak i believe, and the top side-by-side drawers have a wavy design to them, and the rest are just flat. also, the corners of the drawers aren't nailed or anything, they are criss crossed into each other, that's the best way i can explain it. each drawer also has a key hole.

anyways, here are the pictures. i think i have 11 of them. thanks so much!!
