    I have a soda shop Back Bar. In my research I believe the item is made between 1900-1910.

    Based on the one pic of the wood, it looks like mahogany (or a non-descript wood stained to mimic mahogany). I think you are right on with your dating, though could also be post 1910 a bit.

    Really cool piece! Is that a marble countertop? Can't tell the wood species from your photo's.

    Yeah, that's why i asked, it is very large & finding a home for it could prove difficult.

    It's a shame right now I had to put it in a storage unit. I guess some one redoing an old home or business, such as a bar/restaurant
