Antique Questions Forum / Re: Blanket Chest .. Not sure of origin

« on: September 25, 2009, 11:34:02 am »

sapphire...lol.. I live in Lancaster, CA

I'm pretty much selling off the entire contents of the house and moving to Los Angeles. The chest will go up for sale along with my collection of wrought iron (that I DO collect..lol) which isn't the junk they put out today and call wrought iron..lol. The bakers rack and tall bistro table alone are worth twice as much as what I am selling all of it for.

Dealers and collectors will be more than welcome to score big if they want to come out early. lol

So, if anyone is near my town, feel free to send me an email and I will give you the address. 

Thanks again for all your help.

Thanks for the link!! It would appear it is a reproduction. *sigh* Oh well.. Guess it goes into the yard sale after all! lol I have no clue what to ask for it though.

Thanks for the welcome  
 
How can I say this..hmm? It's not like I don't appreciate beautiful things. I'm not a collector and it was only because I was getting ready to put it in a yard sale that I found out that it was possibly something more than just a piece of furniture. It was an anniversary gift from my ex fiance... so it is a bit errmm.. well... tainted for me. If you get what I mean.

I'd much rather see it go to a person who will appreciate it for what it is instead of rolling their eyes seeing it each time (like I do).

I have had this for about three years. Getting ready to move and lo and behold I found this writing under the drawers.

I have no clue what the origin of this piece is and/or what the approximate value may be. I can upload more pics if needed.. ask for specifics and you got it!!

It has been driving me crazy for a few weeks now. I am almost certain the writing is just going to say "Thank you for shopping at Wal-Mart" lol (I'm hoping for better..lol)
