<p>[QUOTE="Mikej, post: 173954, member: 2997"]I believe that was a telephone stand made circa 1910 by a company called Come-Packt. It is not an uncommon piece, and is very similar to other stands in their catalogs. It was almost certainly cut down at some point. The plywood shelf is not original, and it clearly needs some love. This piece would have originally been shipped in a flat crate and assembled and usually stained and finished by the new owner. Because of this, the quality of finish and glue joints varies significantly on these. As is, i would be happy to find it in a sale for $20-35. Restored, i would be able to sell it been $100-200. If it was all original, $350-450 would not be an outrageous estimate in a good antique store or show that specialized in mission style furniture.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
