Long Description
Found this piece put out for the trash collector...
Chest on chest style, serpentine front, six drawers
No manufacturer's label that I can find though there is a series of numbers stamped on the back. They aren't really aligned but seem to read: 1 - 450 - 11 CH 3
Brass handware on the lower drawers appears original; I believe the pulls on the upper drawers are replacements and that the originals were ring-style pulls.
Two of the uppers three drawers contain built-in dividers. One is divided in rather equal thirds; the center division of the other is about two inches narrower.
One of the larger bottom drawers is also divided.
Any clues regarding the possible maker and/or age of the piece would be greatly appreciated!

Re: 6 drawer serpentine chest-on-chest
It's a mid 20th century piece in the Federal Revival style, most American Furniture makers produced a line in this style, the majority of it dating from the second quarter of the 20th century. There is a lot of it around, quality varies considerably as do values. Examples in good shape sometimes will hit $150.00 at auction.
