Thanks for the reply!! I have to admit the longer this piece sits in my house the more I like it. The damage is mostly superficial like scratches in the surface. But a piece of the top did chip off. :-( I have attached a picture. Looks like it has been moved around a few times. I do have the chipped piece in the drawer in case it could be fixed. I'm in birmingham Alabama. I'm not sure how strong the market is here for antiques.

Antique Questions Forum / Baker Buffet Table

I found this piece at a storage unit auction. Turns out its a Baker Buffet Table! A local antique dealer has approached me to purchase the item. But I'm unsure of its worth. It would definitely need some love. The top of the table is a little rough, but the face is pretty mint. Any thoughts on a fair price to sell it for? there is a metal tag in the middle draw that says Baker, Allegean (probably misspelled) Mi, based on the tag it is circa 1935-1940.

I am at work right now, I will get your questions answered this evening! Thanks for helping!! I believe the letters are 1933 and the number 9. As far as size, since it's not in front of me, it would hold a small oval portrait. I will get the specific dimensions tonight

Found a pretty cool picture frame. Has 1933 in raised letters on the back. Is this something that was mass produced? Any info would be appreciated.

Antique Questions Forum / Ornate picture frame looks a little old??

So I came across this really nice picture frame in a storage auction. I was curious if it had any value. It is made of some kind of metal, and has 1933 in raised lettering on the back. I have no idea if that has any significant meaning. Any feedback is appreciated!
