<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 133731, member: 37&quot;]I assume the top picture of this new bunch is the top?&nbsp; What are those things that run cross-grain (Look like tenon ends)?&nbsp; Does look like pine but I am still not 100% sure.&nbsp; If the entire piece is fairly light weight for size, it would be pine.&nbsp; Pine is pretty common for an American country piece so it would fit.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The one pic of the drawer bottom edge looks like it could be plywood.&nbsp; Can&#039;t quite tell but, if it is, it would be a replacement.&nbsp; I would expect to see solid chamfered drawer bottoms on this.&nbsp;&nbsp; If the drawer bottoms have been replaced, it lends credence to the idea that this has had some work done to it and the wood pegs in the drawer joints are an addition.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The back looks fine to me other than needing to be cleaned.&nbsp; Some finish or oiling on the back would improve the appearance.&nbsp; To me, an old back like this is preferable to plywood. I would only replace if it was completely rotting away.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Value is really based on where you live and how you are selling.&nbsp; The condition will also affect value.&nbsp; Those tenons through the top don&#039;t look right to me and won&#039;t look right to most people.&nbsp; I am guessing this is missing something.&nbsp; Antique brown furniture is not bringing much these days.&nbsp; Here in my neck of the woods (semi-rural Midwest) this would be somewhere under $200.00 at retail.&nbsp; At my shop this would be closer to $125.00 and would sell faster if painted. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie87" alt=":sour:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; At auction, somewhere around $50.00.&nbsp; You might do better in a big city or other areas where primitives are still strong.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
