My dad bought this dresser a couple of weeks ago. Just wondering if you guys could tell me an approximate age of it.  Thanks!

Gorgeous piece of American Oak !!  Probably dates around 1890 to 1900 give or take a year or two !! Serpentine drawer front was popular till about 1920 !! Small dovetails say the same to me !! Does it have both stabilizers for the mirror ??  May have only had one but some have two,,one on each side !!  It looks to have been refinished at some time,, can see it on the back of the mirror arms !!

PS  This is my kind of stuff !!  Great buy !!

Thanks for the info Mart.  It does have the stabilizers on both sides.  I absolutely love it but have no where to put it in my home  :'(  Seeing that he only gave $45 for it, I think he done really good!!  ;)
