[QUOTE="James Conrad, post: 1964670, member: 5066"]And, even a blind squirrel is going to find an acorn every now n then! :hilarious: Although [USER=602]@Aquitaine[/USER] didn't realize it at the time nor did I, she stumbled into what later would become an important detail in the construction of this joiner shops dower chests, "blown out" breadboard ends on Bieber chests. As i researched known examples, it became obvious that there were "issues" with many of the breadboard ends on the lids, some were split/separated like mine while others had been replaced altogether. Odd how seemingly little things like this can become an important clue when trying to determine who & where a particular furniture form was built. It wasn't the only clue for sure but it absolutely added to the larger picture as a whole.[/QUOTE]
