I know it's nuts but I don't have the time to drag this to a dealer and would never throw it out. I paid $250. for this a couple years ago and since getting married it's seen almost no use. We use all her dressers now. So, you get it here in NYC for just $150. You must come and pick it up yourself. It's a great lil' piece, very simple and not fancy. All Maple construction with the original wood nails. It's measurements are 35" high, 42" wide and 21" deep. A perfect starter for a small apartment just right to fit a small wardrobe. Or for a childrens room.

Any wear on the finish are mostly cosmetic and not in the wood. The wood is in great condition with only minor nicks here or there but the finish could use some work. A good wood cleaner treatment would be just fine to shine it up a bit. Refinishing isn't necesarry as it would detract from the "Antique" look of this great piece. If you prefer a newer finish then re finishing would be easy.

Might trade for certain Surefire lights, knives, knifemaking materials like steels etc.
 
Wow! That thing is a dead ringer for the dresser my grandmother had. My great grandmother purchased it in 1919 a few years after they came in to Ellis Island from Sicily. I'll have to find a pic of it. Someone should grab this up. It's not everyday that you come across something like this. Btw, are there any maker markings on the piece?
 
Hey KV, crazy huh? Well I checked the back label and it's well worn and partially torn off. All that's legible is "stock no. 250" the name is missing. There is a company name or maker name but it's sooooo faded I am unsure of what letters and what they spell. Shoot! Thanks bro....R
 
Okay, I need to move this sucker asap. $100. rock bottom, less than half what it's worth. You pick it up!:thumbup:

Will trade for certain knives or bars of steel, sheets of G10, 2 X72" belts.
 
For some reason my attachment is no longer showing, email me for pic...
