<p>[QUOTE=&quot;David Hunt, post: 2113525, member: 14943&quot;][ATTACH=full]250655[/ATTACH] Been a collector of antiques and such for years, and still learning all the time -although I like to think I have narrowed it down a little over the years. Have a website but rarely sell anymore, just collect and enjoy learning about the stuff in my collection. <a href="http://www.davidrehunt.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.davidrehunt.com" rel="nofollow">www.davidrehunt.com</a></p><p><br /></p><p>My first piece is the remains of a what appears to be a Pennsylvania Dutch chest or coffer. It&#039;s essentially a six board chest with carved/applied decoration,seems to be white oak and emblazoned with the inscription Gesche and Maria Ahlers and dated 1750. The structural members- of which the back and bottom are replacements - are of solid panels about an inch think and pegged together with dowels. Low relief architectural style elements and carved panels are of the same oak but of thinner stock. 22 1/2&#039; high, 23 1/2&quot;deep and 70&quot; long. Don&#039;t know enough about the subject to be sure, just looking for more info regards this chest/coffer. A fair amount is missing so I assume it isn&#039;t worth too much,but interesting none the less. Any Ideas?[ATTACH=full]250635[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]250636[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]250637[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]250639[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]250640[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
