I bought this sugar bowl in a bazar this week, the information that has in the bottom is the following: marmara sini by: Huseyin KAYA Kutahya and the number 16, also has a sticker from a store located in Bursa (Bursa is on Turkey).
Good condition, minor scratches, sturdy. Dark wood, possibly oak. Top section of table lifts up and back to reveal a desk area. Bottom portion of antique table pulls out to increase desk area and there are sections inside the table that resemble a secretary. I'm not sure what this piece is called. Someone once told me it was a "piano table". I purchased it about 15 years ago in an antique store. There is a metal plate on the inside of the long center drawer that is stamped with "Rich-Tex Home Furnishings" "O.W. Richardson & Co. Chicago". I have no idea how old it is or what it is really.
Size is 40"Lx32"Hx21"d
This could be an antique secretary or antique bedside table or antique desk.
Thank you so much for your time & consideration of my table.
This 2-piece oak secretary is 33" wide, 22" deep and 80" tall. It was purchased in 1971 for $135. It includes a note written by the seller in 1971, tracing its ownership to a woman born in 1857. It apparently traveled from Roanoke, VA to Eastern Pennsylvania to Baltimore to Norfolk.
The top has two glass doors and 3 adjustable shelves. The doors lock with a metal key.
The bottom piece has one shallow drawer the width of the piece, 2 deep drawers that are 1/2 the width and a cabinet. It also has a rolltop desk area, with a compartment insert.
The desk area could use some refinishing, but otherwise it's in very good condition.
This appears to have been made by a carpenter or an early DIYer. It has no factory markings and its style is more "cottage humble" than refined.
This is THE KOOTENAY washboard....as the pictures attached, it says Mountain Brand, manufactured by Western Woodenware Ltd, Vancouver B.C. _ Can you give me some information/background/etc on this washboard; I can't find information on the Web so far. Your assistance is much appreciated. There is no date on the board itself, however, I have attached several views of the washboard I posted. I would say it is good to excellent condition. It is 12" wide, by 24" high, with the metal wash grid being 12" high & comprises of 5 1/2" legs.
Hello, my aunt -grandmother gave me this coocoo before she passed away in 2003. It belonged to her husband (my godfather) who brought it from one of his trip to Germany back in the 40's or 50's, not really sure. We brought it from Argentina where my aunt-grandmother was from as well as my parents. I have no idea about the brand, manufacturer, year it was built, etc, all I know It has been in our pantry for almost a decade and we recenly decide to get the price from an expert. Dimensions are, 6.5"wide x 9.5" tall x 5" deep. My aunt-grandmother told me it works, but since I have no experience with coocoos, I do not not how to make it work.
