Antique Questions Forum / What is this thing!? Please help me identify and value this one...

« on: November 04, 2012, 04:39:14 pm »

Recently aquired from my parents and it has always been a favorite of mine.  The top is pinned closed.  With the pin removed, you can swing the door open to access....yarn???  We have always kept yarn in it (even though no one has knitted for 40 years or more).  There is a latice that is damaged but still with the table.  There are hinges(?) on the inside so maybe there was a kickstand to keep it propped open?

I would love tho know more about it and a general value as well.  Thank you in advance!

Thanks you guys.  That helps alot.  If anyone else concurs or has another opinion higher or lower on price, please speak up.  I am going to have to sell it and want to price it fairly, but not leave much moola on the table.  BTW, I am in Alabama.

Thank you,
Scott

Thanks in advance for your help.  I have tried to research it, but I am a newbie.  I will try to give all the pertinent info.

- Recently acquired from my parent's downsizing, this has been in their home for at least 50 years.  That is all I know about it's age.
- Size in inches:  50long 33wide 29tall
- condition is as shown in pics with no flaws hidden  there is minor wear on the ton and chair scrapes on the bottom.  There is no key.  There are no repairs needed that I can find.  It appears to be the original satin finish.
-  All drawers are full depth
-  closeup pic shows dovetails
-  closeup pic shows sawmarks
-  the only markings I can find, and I looked everywhere, were the ink stamps "B.C.C."  and "6" on the bottom side of the center drawer.
-  The assembly screws are flatheads

I would like to identify it and put a value on it.  All input will be appreciated.
