I think that was ghopper that gave that lead !! I had it copied but due to dial up and its lack of speed,, he beat me back here !!
Did you say you had the upper shelves that went behind the door or not ?? Don`t remember what I read !!

Can still honestly say in all my years never saw a Karpen in this style!  The thing I love about this site...always learning and seeing something new!!!!

Great call ghopper1924!

For a value just look and see what similar pieces are selling for !! Not asking price but rather closed sales !! Check ebay !!   Off hand I would say $250. to $300. in my area !!  Karpen made good furniture but there is quite a bit available !!
