Here are the pictures of the buffet i am trying to find out about. If anyone can help me i would greatly appreciate it.  wanting to know the year it was made or around the year it was made and what you think it is worth.  thanks.
The back of the buffet has 1401 buffet on it.  Then it has satin wal shaded.  On the label on the back of the buffet it has  FIVE BIG FACTORIES.  the ones listed are Klamer Furniture, Schelosky Table Company, Klamer Goebel, Werts Klamer Furniture and another name that says O  A Klamer.  theres an initial or something between the O & A but I can't make it out.

I am sorry but I can't enlarge your photo.

If is definitely early American made...Appears walnut and they did use veneers. Maybe a better closeup would change my mind....but feel it is from early 40's.  Buffet/Side board. 
I'm from the South - but please don't mistake my Southern Manners/Accent/Charm as a weakness!

Hey KC !!  You are better than you thought !!  Found this old post !!
http://www.antique-shop.com/forums/index.php?topic=5308.0;prev_next=prev
Klamer furniture went under several names which was not uncommon for the time !!  This Sideboard looks like 30`s vintage to me, and typical of what was produced coming out of the Victorian period and before Craftsman style !!
Value between $150. and $200. on a good day if in excellent condition !!
