[QUOTE="SeaGoat, post: 4332718, member: 1136"]Is it glass or plexi? The inside was done with a glazing compound you use with windows. If he had any sort of knowledge of furniture making and or tools it wouldn't have been difficult to deconstruct, then reconstruct. Have you looked him or his family up on census records to see if there were furniture makers in the family? As far as selling it, the usefulness/practicality of the piece will come into play. If you are putting it in a booth, figure out the best way to style it. You're selling an *idea*, even if you're posting it online to sell, still style it for photos. If the family was prominent, well known and has been in the area for a long time, etc include that. People collect local pieces and stories too. The hook looks like a griffin, to me[/QUOTE]
