<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 160467, member: 37&quot;]I am with the others in thinking that your tilt-top is a newer 20th century reproduction.&nbsp; It still may have 80 years of age but is not Civil War era and the story, as Susan has so excellently speculated, just does not fit. It is pine and may have been made with older salvaged lumber.&nbsp; However, I would expect wider and clearer lumber if this was 19th century.</p><p><br /></p><p>As you guessed, the chairs are much newer.&nbsp; I would say post-1960s the way that seat is a separate entity and drops in.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your sideboard/hutch has possibilities for being old.&nbsp; I would like to see drawer construction (dovetails if any and a straight-on shot of the bottom).</p><p><br /></p><p>Your Boston rocker should have a single board construction across the width of the seat if really old.&nbsp; If made up of multiple boards, it would be very later 19th century at the oldest but more likely well on in to the 20th century.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
