[QUOTE="wcubed, post: 1270198, member: 12663"]According to family history, this dolls dresser was made by a farmhand. I'm guessing early 1900's? It looks like there were some letters attached above the mirror at one point, but the initials wouldn't match up with either female child during that time period. It stands about 37" high. My wife uses it for some of her jewelry, and misc. storage now. The top part with the two smallest drawers and the mirror just sits on top of the bottom part.
