Antique Questions Forum / Re: Antique stove

Here's an old advertisement for laundry stoves.  I found it on ebay and thought it might help with the history.

I don't know if this will help or not, but a cameo necklace that is very similar to your ring is posted on ebay.  Here's the link.

Antique Questions Forum / Rooster cordial glasses with gold rims

I found this set of six cordials about 30 years ago at a flea market and was wondering if anyone could identify them.  They have no maker markings that I can see and stand about 2 3/4 inches tall.

Antique Questions Forum / School desk with woven seat from NC Academy/College 1850-1910

I acquired two old adult school desks some years ago from a local man, who stated the desks came from Yadkin College, a private school which operated as a college and academy in NC from the 1850s to the 1910s.  The desks were in really bad shape and missing the bottom woven caning.  The writing arm of the desk is almost 2 inches thick.  I've never seen any other desks like these.  They are obviously made for adults or older students due to their size.  They were probably made by a local furniture maker, probably in the Lexington or Salisbury area.  They look like oak.  I've posted pictures of the desk, which I refinished and put a new bottom in.  If anyone has any ideas on these desks, I'd love to hear them.  You can email me directly at kfoy@networktrainers.com

Thanks.
