<p>[QUOTE="Dave Webster, post: 102593, member: 1459"]Thanks Brad...looking at the wood and grain it appears to be mahogany. The mirror mark doesn't show unless a light is shined on it. I know it came from a family collection in Michigan who owned a railroad. The person I bought it from said it has been in their family since the late 1800's. I searched high and low for a mark but none found. I can tell the dovetails were machine made since they are evenly spaced and uniform. Any idea on the value?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
