Georgia...so Marketplace Antiques in Augusta makes sense. I thought that maybe Mrs.Emily's mother purchased it there because Mrs. Emily has a son-in-law that lives about 30 minutes from Augusta. And Marketplace put there label over the original label...there is only a little bit left from each label.

Typically an antique shop would not use a label and surely wouldn`t put one over the original !!  I think one is the mfrs label and one,, the dark one, is the retailer !!  Labels or marks of any kind were rare before the 30`s !!  Then the companies started marketing to the housewives in 40`s and 50`s !!  Especially on items that were not part of  a set !! A china cabinet was more of a luxury item !!  Sets usually were table and chairs and a server/buffet !!

I think both labels are later and that the piece is earlier, late 19th century.
