<p>[QUOTE="S Glanz, post: 4330888, member: 23422"][ATTACH=full]356179[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]356180[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]356181[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]356182[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]356183[/ATTACH] Hello, I have a cabinet that was given to me and I was told it was handmade by the owner's great uncle in the 1930's. It is very heavy, with curved glass that was set in with some kind of plaster? and it has cool hardware (serpent hooks on each side and hoosier?-hinges and square/diamond pegs as accents). My question is: are handmade antiques like this more or less valuable than ones that were made by furniture stores back then. Also, do you concur it would have been made in the 30's? and what is that plaster-stuff they used to set in the curved glass? Is the hardware valuable to repurpose? Lastly, is this oak? why does it have so many cool zebra-type lines in the wood?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
