<p>[QUOTE="Jeff Drum, post: 1578665, member: 6444"]Looks more late 19th century to me if the drawer is hand dovetailed - if not then it could be early 20th century. Pine construction, the circular saw marks on back indicate not early. Also looks like it started as two separate pieces that were married together. Probably painted exterior originally; once that was stripped it lost its appeal. I doubt the interior has original paint since it is dribbled sloppily on the back.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
