Hello all,

I found this table at a home sale located at a circa 1835 house in the Corn Hill neighborhood of Rochester, NY. The home was being sold, and the owners were also looking to sell some of their many furniture pieces and other antiques. The home was and still is furnished with period pieces, but it's hard to say how many of these are intrinsic to the house an whether or not this table had belonged to an original owner (the home was built by a successful French fur trapper as a gift for his parents).

I am completely unfamiliar with this style, it has ornamentation toward the top that was lathed and hand carved, and the bottom looks like it was possibly hand made in someone's home or barn; the decorative elements are very very simple and the base has very squared off elements. 

Even with my utter lack of knowledge, I'm guessing at 1840s but could be completely off!

The condition is not good; one of the cylindrical pieces hanging from the corners of the table top is broken off, the table top itself is not very securely connected to the base, and it looks like at some point quite a long time ago one of the base's feet had been broken off and repaired, using the original foot (not a replacement piece). 

Unfortunately there are no signatures, location stamps or other marks.

Well, thanks for reading and if there is a way to find out anything more about it that would be wonderful!

Purchased this piece at an estate sale for $50.  I don't know much about it, except the seller told me it belonged to his grandmother, and she had it "forever."  It was in pretty rough shape, incredibly dried out and very dusty, but I thought it had a lot of character, and a can of Lemon Pledge, some Windex, and several rolls of paper towels and cotton swabs, uncovered it's natural beauty!

There are no markings anywhere on this item (I looked in, on, around, behind and under).  It has a "handmade," rustic craftsmanship to it.  The back of the piece has three rustic slat boards running horizontally, holding the backboard in place.  The glass may have been replaced at some point as the inside door moulding that holds the glass in place was rudimentally hammered in place (nails are bent) and the pieces do not match up in the corners. 

There are two full-length front doors with skeleton keys that came with it, and the locks work. and it sits/rolls on four wooden casters with metal "shields" that are somewhat rusted. The sides are glass and fixed.  There are plate grooves on both shelves, so it may have originally been a small china cabinet?

The front, top center detail is very fragile, about as thin as veneer or balsa wood, and some of the decorative "arches" have broken off.  I believe there was at least a second similar design on the bottom center pane, but that was not in place when I purchased it.  

Lastly, the "medallion" on the top center is affixed to a single strip of wood that has been cut to "trace" the line of this detail.

I have no plans to sell, I think it's a charming piece, and it fits my rustic, primitive, country decor.  I am just curious as to when and where something like this would have been crafted.

Thanks in advance!

P.S.  I apologize for the picture that shows the entire piece, I couldn't make the image small enough , yet visible and uploadable.  If you need another picture, I will try again!  :)

These are two Coca Cola Coolers. The first is in mint condtion and is from May of 1949. It is a Cavalier FE-6 Case Master. It is 100 percent complete and is factory original. This is sitting in my grandparent's home where it has been since the year it was made.

The second cooler is a Westinghouse Ice Master from April of 1938. It is in rough shape as it was replaced by the other cooler and moved to the basement in 1949. This one needs a coat of paint but otherwise is 100 percent complete with all original parts.

My grandparents ran a corner variety store attched to the house.

 I've no knowledge about furniture, so any information would be a great help.

This is, as should be obvious from the pictures, a child's rocking chair. I can't find a scrap of identifying information anywhere on the chair; for all I know, it's one of a kind, hand made. The decorations, painted in red and green, are similar to illustrations you'd find in a children's book. The green leather seat is well-attached and in excellent condition.

There are a couple of condition notes:

1) The joint of the right rear leg and its runner has been reinforced with a pair of flat braces on either side of the runner.

2) There is a crack in the wood at the back of the seat at the top of that leg (see picture below). Visually unappealing but in no danger of coming apart.

But to me, all of this suggests that Junior really loved his chair, perhaps even when he was getting too big for it....

At first glance, I wasn't all that taken with this chair, but it's very charming. It's rustic, and the nursery rhyme book decorations speak of a sweet innocence and playfulness.

I filed this in "American Furniture" but to be honest, I've no idea of its origin. I'm a bit boggled that I can't find any sort of mark on it whatsoever.

Thank you for any input!
