This is an African mask that was given to a cousin while in Africa. The man that gave him the mask was running for some sort of political office there. I have no idea what the exact use was but very intrested in finding out the history and value of this item.

lilacs painted on vase

This John Stuart Inc. corner hutch is made from pine.  From top to bottom, it has three open shelves, one drawer, and a two-door cabinet on the bottom.   There are cup hooks and plate grooves in the open shelves.   The original handles, drawer-pulls, etc., is still in place.  This was refinished with a walnut stai many years ago.  Inside the drawer is a plate showing "John Stuart Inc, New York * Grand Rapids."   Good condition.

On your site you had a personaized plate from Taylor Smith and Taylor it had many names written on it.Along with HUMME  You wanted to know what the UG Dept was.  My mother worked at Taylor Smith and Taylor as a tour guide and sales woman in the outlet store:  The UG Dept stand for the Under glaze dept.

My sister bought this at a garage sale in Hawaii several years ago. No other history is known
