    Hello again, I volunteer at our local charity thrift shop and came across this interesting highboy dresser (missing) mirror. This 5 drawer dresser is quite primitive and has a stamp on the back "From HUD SC". Any ideas of origin? Government furniture from depression?

    Mass produced turn of the century .SC was a huge furniture manufacturing hub for many years. That price they are asking is ambitious.

    It was a nice dresser in its day. Now however it's a restoration piece. If they can find someone to pay that price for it, more power to them.

    Agrees, it's in pretty rough shape, needs refinishing at the very least.
    Looking this morning, I don't think it says HUD SC, HUD didn't come into being until 1965 and second, there is no space between the D & S so could just be Hudson or something similar with the last letters MIA.

    Typical American highboy chest. Circa 1910. Nothing special about it and agree the price is ambitious in this condition.

    Hudson's Department Stores maybe? Dayton/Hudson that is, not Hudson's Bay. They were a big outfit in the midwestern USA for quite a while.
