    Would you consider it mid century? No info on brand or markings sorry! And thanks in advance!

    Could be, but we need closer pictures of the hardware and wood finish.

    I think it could be a bit earlier, 1940s maybe, but we need to see more and preferably bigger pictures.

    It's free, I'm trying to get it off of marketplace. This is just the listing picture. We'll see, the seller is not responding but the listing is still up. I think I'll take it and see where I'm at if possible! I'll post more and better pics if I get it! Thanks all!

    Good luck, Divas. It looks like a nice piece, I hope the condition is good. Check for woodworm.:nailbiting:

    Little beasties that make small holes in wood. Once you get them in your house, by way of infested old wood, they will start gnawing away at other wooden furniture etc.

    Look for tiny holes dotted around the surface, almost like pinholes.
    If you see holes, tap the wood to see if any sawdust comes out. If there is sawdust, they are still in there. If there are holes but no dust, the holes are likely to be old holes, and they don't pose a problem. It is just not a nice sight.

    I'd guess 40's or early 50's as well. Most sellers would call it MCM regardless. My experience with "Free" listings for anything decent is that if you don't respond within the first 15 minutes, you have no shot. But good luck.
