Does anyone know anything about this vanity?
« on: July 14, 2013, 08:43:56 am »
I believe the maker is Merriam Hall and Company out of Leominster, MA but I can't seem to find anything about it online. Any help would be much appreciated!

Try looking for a dresser instead of vanity !! That's what they were commonly called !! They were part of a bedroom suite !!  Yours looks late 30`s or 40`s !! Pic is too dark to see well !!

Mart's right. I would say 1940s, walnut or mahogany, worth maybe $80 to $100 on its own at an estate sale.
